Octomore - Edition 14.1 Super Heavily Peated | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

NOSE:
Explosive aromas of peat smoke dominate, with layers of sea spray, charred oak, and earthy moss. Beneath the intense smoke, there's a subtle sweetness with notes of vanilla, honey, lemon zest, and freshly ground pepper, as well as hints of toffee and green apple.

TASTE:
Full-bodied and powerful, with a rich, oily texture. The smoke is deep and intense, with a savory, meaty quality reminiscent of smoked bacon or barbecued meats. As the smoke subsides, notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and sweet malt emerge, alongside hints of citrus peel, dried herbs, and black pepper spice. The American oak influence adds a touch of vanilla and toasted coconut.

FINISH:
The finish is long and warming, with persistent waves of smoke, charred wood, and earthy peat. A lingering sweetness from the malt and subtle oak spices leave a lasting impression. The smoky, briny character evolves with a delicate balance of sweetness and spice, making for a complex and satisfying finish.
