Octomore 16.1

Very light in color, contrasted by the strong flavor. Oak, apple/pear, honey, pepper, spice, and vanilla/butterscotch. So heavy of smoke that it was as if I had a cigar in mouth. Absolutely incredible. A little more complexity and it would be a 5. Ardbeg Uigeadail is above this for that reason, and for half the price. Yet, this was incredible and a privelidge to enjoy.

Layers of smoke, salty, saline but some sweet, oak, iodine, complex, long finish. Maybe some chocolate. Burnt sugar. Best scotch ever. Burnt honey. Earthy.
