This is my only Octomore. I'm glad I bought it so that I have one on the shelf and I think it's very, very good. However, not sure it's worth the $263 I paid when I compare it to other bottles I've picked up around $100 like Laphroaig 10 CS, Laphroaig Cairdeas PX Sherry CS, Ardbeg Uigeadail, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Highland Park CS, etc. Nose: Dark, dried, sherried fruits (like plums, raisins, and dates) with hot peat and barbecue smoke / smoked meat. Those 2 main notes (sherry and barbecue) are incredible. Flavor: At first it's a spicy and smokey honey sweetness. Then spice, oak, sherry, hot peat with black pepper, barbecue smoke, smoked meat. The peat and smoke here are all barbecue smoke and smoked meats. I don't get much medicinal, ash, campfire, cigarette, etc. Really nice notes for high peat / smoke. Body: Decent thickness, but certainly not oily or syrupy. My guess is that the young age of Octomore hurts it here. Just not enough time in the cask to get really great body. Finish: The sherry and barbecue notes dominate and linger forever.
