Description

Octomore Edition 16.2 is an intensely peated Islay single malt that balances raw power with elegant complexity. Building on the bold character of the Octomore series, this expression introduces additional depth through cask influence, adding layers of ripe fruit, spice, and subtle sweetness to its signature smoky profile. Expect robust peat smoke intertwined with notes of dark fruits, oak, and a lingering finish. It is aged for 5 years and bottled at 58.1% ABV, un-chill filtered and with no added coloring. This limited edition is a testament to Head Distiller Adam Hannett's commitment to quality and experimentation, showcasing a unique combination of Oloroso, Bordeaux, Madeira, and Moscatel casks.

Nose
Caramelised sugar and roasted hazelnuts mingle with sticky figs and sultanas. A soft swirl of campfire smoke rises, laced with red berries and polished oak. Dried fruits, tropical fruits, and floral notes such as honeysuckle and orange blossoms predominate. Subtle but distinct peat smoke, accompanied by earthy aromas and a salty sea breeze.
Palate
Dark fruits dominate, with raisins, plums, and cherries accented by nut brittle and treacle. Sweet spices and wine tannins frame the peat, which feels mellow yet persistent. Rich and sweet smoke, followed by caramelised sugar, roasted nuts, and dried fruits. Candied citrus peels provide fruity freshness. Spicy notes and a maritime character - a blend of campfire and sea salt—round out the flavor.
Finish
Long and evolving, with dried fruit, spiced smoke, and a lingering nuttiness that leaves a deep, satisfying impression. Long-lasting, intensely smoky and sweet, with maritime freshness and a subtle woody spice in the aftertaste.
