Octomore Masterclass 08.1/167

I was only able to have a taste but the finish followed me all the way home. The nose was full of smoke and dark honey and tha palate bounced from smoke to floral notes, then smoke, then pine, then smoke then herbal tea, then smoke, then a bit of orange zest. I would like to have had a bigger sample and more time with this. Not medicinal, not full of ash, more like an Ardbeg but not with as much citrus as a Corry. Extremely pleasant and would strongly consider a bottle.

Nose was less peaty than I've expected, also imposing light dried fruits. However taste is extremely peaty and smoky. Nice whisky for a strong dram.

Defiantly pick up the chili pepper notes

Obvious massive peat on the nose, but refined and soft for the strength of alcohol. Spice, some licorice and medicinal notes. Wonderful full taste, rich, rounded, spicy. Super strong smoke and peat aftertaste, but what else did you expect? Actually very drinkable at full strength, but a little water really opens it up.
