Octomore 07.1/208 Scottish Barley

Bacon in a bottle. If that doesn't sound tempting to you we can't be friends.

Humongous. Barbeque, rich caramel, dark chocolate, yeasty funk, light fruit, black olives. Feels oily and thick. Outstanding.

Absolutely remarkable how intense the peat is at first taste. Unmistakable. It is much smoother than you'd expect from a scotch that is that young and that high ABV. The smoke eventually gives way to some floral notes and a bit of herb. Fantastic.
