Tastes

Nose: lactic liquid smoke. Smoked cheese. Gentle peat, herbal a bit. Taste: wow! Thick oily, salty and malty. Deep flavor. Warming. Some distant fruits. Like a whisky fruit pie. Oranges or peaches. Brine. Not your typical peaty Octomore. Finish: tart, dry, some more peat and vanilla comes from the back. After opening with a few drops of water: Nose: vanilla, lemon, some cherry hints. Palate: honey, malt, grape notes. A bit mellower at first, finished quite sharp. More herbal notes. Finish: not very long. Fruity, vanilla. Low peat. In general, very interesting whisky, but definitely not what you usually expect from Octomore. Liked a lot, but missed a bit of the peat.

Gentle smoked notes, lemon zest, vanilla, some fruity notes. Green apples in vanilla powder and cinnamon. Citrusy , apricot? Butterscotch. Some peat in the aftertaste.

Sherry in your face. Sweet grapes, candy and caramel. Viscous honey, fruity, red apples jam. Vanilla on 2nd wave. Very sweet, sourish hints, sweet spices. Low body, easygoing, too sweet for me. Not enough complexity in the flavor

Lots of fruits and vanilla, some wood, herbal, green spice. Gentle nose. Honey, lemon zest, pepper notes, warm and sweet candy. Well balanced and easy. Hay.
