Octomore 15.3 61.3%
61.3% | 70cl | Islay | 307.2ppm | Cask Strength | Peated | NCF
A phenomenal force of flavour and an Octomore bursting with character, the 15.3 brings together heavy-weight peating levels with variable harvests from one singular farm on Islay. Less than two miles from our distillery, the malting barley grown at Octomore Farm brings cereal forward sweetness and burnt sugar, while the casks provide notes of creamy vanilla and citrus fruits. A symphony of flavour wrapped in earthy, intense peat smoke — this is Octomore at a whole new level.
It was made using a combination of spirit matured in first-fill Bourbon casks (69%) and first-fill Oloroso hogsheads from Fernando de Castilla, Jerez, Spain (31%).
Tasting notes
NOSE: Smoked cinder toffee, rich malted Islay barley sugar and honey come to the fore, balanced with fresh citrus. Dried fruit and crushed seashells mingle with Octomore’s heady peat smoke, with cloves, toasted nuts and a hint of coconut adding depth and complexity. Butterscotch, brown sugar and warm bread pave the way for the cereal-forward single malt whisky.
PALATE: High strength yet exceptionally soft in texture, Octomore 15.3 is unmistakably rounded and viscous. Butterscotch and creamy vanilla enhance its smooth character, punctuated with dried fruit and sweet orange zest. Toasted oak and locally grown barley sugar are underpinned with waves of dry smoke.
FINISH: Burnt sugar, coconut, and delicate sea spray linger on the finish, with the lasting impression of earthy peat smoke, forcing you to come back for more.
