Five years of maturation in first fill bourbon and recharred bourbon barrels
The maturation of the 15.1 (the .1 is always the backbone of each series) took place in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and recharred ex-bourbon casks with the aim of extracting the maximum flavours and character from the wood.
A true Octomore – expressive and full of character with an intense palette of flavours ranging from vanilla-sweet to intensely smoky.
