Tasting Notes

Octomore 14.1 5 Year Old is a true embodiment of peat and smoke. The aroma hits you with a powerful reek of peat, enveloped in notes of vanilla and salted caramel, with a hint of lemon peel adding a zesty twist. On the palate, it's a symphony of cinder toffee, peppery spice, golden syrup, and orchard fruit, all underpinned by an earthy, smoky peat character. The finish lingers with smoky oak char and vanilla, leaving a lasting impression. Crafted from 100% Scottish barley malted to an intense 128.9 ppm and matured in first-fill American whiskey casks, this expression allows the raw, smoky spirit to take center stage, with just a subtle oak influence. Octomore 14.1 5 Year Old is a celebration of peat and a testament to the distillery's commitment to creating super peaty whiskies that push boundaries.
