Known as the world's most heavily peated series of single malts, Octomore is not for the faint-hearted. This particular release, Octomore 13.1, showcases the elegant balance between the powerful peat smoke and the softer, nuanced elements of the malt.

TastingNotesNose: On the nose, Octomore 13.1 presents an intriguing balance of contrasts. While the powerful peat smoke is immediately apparent, it is gracefully countered by lighter notes of citrus, honey, and vanilla. A hint of maritime brine speaks of its Islay origin.

Palate: The palate continues the dialogue between the heavy peat smoke and the gentler malt components. Robust peat and earthy tones are beautifully softened by sweet notes of honey, vanilla, and citrus. As the whisky evolves on the palate, a hint of toasted oak and spice emerges, adding depth to the experience.

Finish: The finish of Octomore 13.1 is long, smoky, and somewhat warming. The potent peat lingers, leaving a final trace of honeyed sweetness, citrus zest, and a hint of sea salt. This complex yet harmonious interplay of flavors makes Octomore 13.1 a truly memorable dram.
