Tasting Notes
Octomore 13.3 5 Year Old is a true embodiment of Islay's rugged terroir. Crafted from barley grown on the island and peated to an intense 129.3 PPM, this single malt whisky exudes an elegant symphony of aromas and flavors. The nose greets you with a delightful interplay of peat smoke, alpine herbs, and the comforting notes of gingerbread and crisp apples. On the palate, delicate smoke dances harmoniously with caramelized honey, buttery shortbread, and hints of Ovaltine, while waxy lemon peel adds a refreshing twist. As the whisky lingers, the peat builds in intensity, unveiling savory oats and a fruity compote, leaving a lasting impression. Aged for five years in a thoughtful blend of first-fill European oak casks and American whiskey barrels, this non-chill filtered and natural-colored expression truly captures the essence of Islay's terroir in every sip.
