The basis of the new Octomore series and the starting point for a surprising and experimental Edition No. 16. This elegant single malt was fully matured in first-fill bourbon casks, which imbue the typically intense peat smoke with surprising finesse. From salted caramel, melon, and apricot to chocolate and coconut, to a gentle wave of earthy minerality and lingering smoke. A whisky with plenty of power and character, whose complex balance of sweetness, salt, and smoke invites you to discover it with pleasure.
