Octomore 15.2

Description

Octomore 15.2 offers an intriguing and inviting comparison to its 15.1 counterpart.

Distilled from the same batch of Scottish grown barley and also malted to 108.2 PPM, the 15.2 uses a robust combination of second fill wine and second fill bourbon casks, with the spirit finished in first fill Cognac casks. This unique trifecta adds layers of intrigue, resulting in a complex yet exceedingly elegant single malt Scotch whisky. Hints of nutmeg, toasted oak and caramel add smoothness to the palate, with the delicate floral character of Octomore coming to the fore.

The initial maturation in American oak, before finishing in French oak ex-cognac casks, adds a wealth of complexity.

Demonstrating the finesse quality oak has on the final spirit, the 15.2 is simultaneously powerful yet elegant with the delicate floral character of the whisky coming to the fore. The softness of the oak is unmissable on the palate, working with the spirit’s mineral quality and dry peat smoke beautifully.〞
