The initial maturation in American oak, before finishing in French oak ex-Cognac casks, adds a wealth of complexity to Octomore 15. 2. 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 spirits mineral quality and dry peat smoke beautifully. BARLEY PROVENANCE: 100% Scottish Mainland Concerto barley MALTING: Super Heavily Peated DISTILLATION: Distilled in 2018 from 2017 harvest AGE: 5 Years MATURATION PROFILE: Distilled in 2018 and originally filled into a combination of second fill wine casks (42%) and second fill bourbon casks (58%). In 2023 the spirit was recasked into first fill Cognac casks for the remainder of its maturation life. PHENOL LEVEL: 108. 2 PPM STRENGTH: 57. 9% Tasting notes Nose - Sweet citrus, lime zest and lemon meringue pie open on the nose, followed by toasted oak and a hint of earthy smoke. A medley of tropical fruit enhances the vibrancy of the single malt whisky, balanced with woody spices, smoked honey, toasted bread, and roasted coffee. Palate - Viscous in texture, the sumptuously smooth spirit brings vanilla custard, caramel, toffee and a crack of black pepper. Charred oak, cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg provide added depth with pear drops and dried apricot cutting through Octomores inimitable peat smoke. Finish - An unmistakable maritime quality lands on a finish, with waves of salt spray settling on the palate while peat embers linger.
