Octomore Edition 13.2 58.3% 700ml
Octomore 13.2 offers a captivating exploration of cask influence, matured entirely in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts from Jerez, Spain. Distilled in 2016 from Scottish Concerto barley peated to 137.3 ppm, this five-year-old expression balances Octomore’s signature smoke with rich, sherry-driven depth.
Where 13.1 demonstrates the clarity of American oak, 13.2 reveals the darker, fruit-laden character of sherry casks. The result is a bold yet elegant Islay whisky, marrying powerful peat with layers of dried fruits, nuts, and spices.
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Smouldering peat intertwined with raisins, figs, leather, and a touch of dark chocolate.
Palate: Rich and powerful, with sherry sweetness, smoked nuts, charred oak, and bursts of citrus zest.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming, with lingering notes of spice, dried fruit, and maritime brine.
