Octomore 14.1 70cl 59.6°

Octomore 14.1 is distilled from 100% Scottish barley, of the Concerto variety harvested in 2016, and has aged for 5 years in first-fill Bourbon casks.

This subtle influence of oak allows the raw character of the spirit to express itself and provides a point of comparison for the two other references 14.2 and 14.3.

This 2017 vintage displays a rate of 128.9 PPM* and displays a deep, decidedly peaty profile, with notes of caramel, vanilla and coconut.

*PPM - parts per million - of phenolic compounds, measure the impact of oily peat smoke which is deposited on germinated barley during drying. The longer this time, the greater the ppm value. An already well-peated Islay whiskey is around 40-50ppm. But let's never forget the particularities of each distillery in terms of the mouthfeel of the whisky.
