Octomore 2002 Futures 5 Year Old, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cask, 1st Release, 2008, 46%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

The notes put peat, sea salt and citrus in the foreground, with a dry, smoky edge. The bourbon-cask label makes me curious about the oak, but the documented flavours don’t show clearly how it fits.
