Octomore 14.3 is a stellar release from the ever-popular Islay distillery, made using malt grown just two miles from the distillery on Octomore farm. Matured in a combination of first-fill ex-American whiskey casks and second-fill wine casks, carefully chosen to capture the terroir and unique flavour of the Islay barley. Lots of soft, biscuit notes on the palate from the malted barley complemented by earthy peat smoke, creamy porridge, butterscotch, honeycomb, and a hint of vanilla.
