OC6 Elements of Islay - 50cl 58.1%

This young Octomore was distilled in 2011 and aged in ex-bourbon barrels for more than eight years.

As expected, it’s packed with pungent smoke, but also offers a wealth of citrus fruit and toasted grain flavours.

Only a limited number of 870 bottles have been produced in total. 

Limited to 1 per customer. 

Nose: Burnt matches and iodine softened by lemon and orange peel, tinned fruit and maraschino cherries. Sumptuous melted caramel and ginger emerge after adding a drop of water.

Palate: The chewy texture instantly erupts with hot peat and astringent smoke, before opening up into sea salt and cracked black pepper. Past the spice, there’s a generous helping of grapefruit marmalade spread on toasted rye bread.

Finish: Dry finish with more citrus fruit, malted barley, tarragon and green tomatoes.
