Tasting Notes

"Just like many other Octomore expressions the aroma is not all about peat. There’s also dried chiles, graham cracker, creamy malt, and the thick smell of motor oil. Though the peat is certainly there to give you a knuckle-cracking handshake on the palate. Taste Mexican chocolate mole and more graham crackers as well. The finish, to no surprise, is oily and intensely spiced. Add some water to coax out a little more smoke and temper the dry spices."
