Exposing the structural brilliance of our pure, unadulterated Octomore super heavily peated spirit, our 11.1 edition is powerful, understated and vibrant. Underpinned with a delicate balance of smoke and sweet vanilla from the ex-American oak casks, this single malt has spent just 5 years in contact with fresh first fill wood. The presence of peat on the palate is huge, and yet is incredibly balanced with clean fruit and floral notes. Distilled in 2014 from the 2013 harvest of 100% Scottish barley then filled into active ex-American oak, this high provenance, high peat single malt is a fitting embodiment of how quality ingredients demand less time to reach maturity.
"The palate gave me a feeling of a ball of honeycomb with oak spices and smoked with peat! A pleasant combination. Every second it feels more juicy! Peat needs some time to show itself. Finish is long with a big barley explosion. It covered back of my palate in no time." - Whisky Monster (88 Points)
"A great Octomore with a perfect balance of vanilla sweetness and savoury, smoked bacon. A fairly naked but clean and balanced version." - Ruben, Whisky Notes (88 Points)
"The whisky has a light golden color. Naturally the peat is the first thing you notice upon opening the bottle. But after a few minutes in a glass other aromas come through like mint, sweet malt, and mossy/grassy notes. Tasting without water is difficult, but possible if that is your preference. But you're bound to miss out on the nuances of the whisky if you don't add water. With water you'll find a little lemon zest on the nose and the whisky becomes more manageable on your palate. Still, the barrel spices--particularly cinnamon--shine. The sweet malt helps to tame the heat a little and the peat is present at all times." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (87 Points)
"Made with barley malted to 139.6 ppm, distilled in 2014, and matured 5 years in first-fill Jim Beam, Jack Daniel, and Heaven Hill casks. Citrus fruit and unripe bananas on the nose, and in time, clean pine notes. Vanilla, salted caramel, chewy orange, and prickly woodsmoke on the palate. Lively, prickly, prominent peat, a suggestion of honey, and more citrus fruit in the lengthy finish." - Gavin Smith, Whisky Advocate (88 Points)
