Octomore Edition 14.3

Octomore Edition 14.3  showcases Islay barley cultivated just two miles from the distillery, delivering a cereal-forward single malt that honors both terroir and local farming heritage. Head Distiller Adam Hannett has masterfully extracted the grain's character through maturation in first-fill ex-American whiskey casks and second-fill wine casks—oak that complements rather than overwhelms. Expect aromas of hot, sweet mash with soft biscuit notes from the malted barley, layered with earthy peat smoke. A high-provenance expression that celebrates the profound influence of natural, raw ingredients.

Octomore single malt has defied perceived whisky wisdom since its launch in 2008. Matured for five years, always super-heavily peated and bottled close to cask strength, Octomore’s surprising elegance has led us to define it as The Impossible Equation. An experiment which pushes the boundaries of whisky making, the latest series explores the influence of terroir, cask management and peat levels on the final flavour – with each single malt having its own distinct and unique character.
