Octomore 14.1 brings together formidable peat smoke and a surprisingly bright, sweet character. Vanilla, caramel and citrus cut through the earthy smoke, with roasted coffee and gentle spice adding depth.
Made from Scottish mainland barley, it forms the foundation of Octomore’s fourteenth annual series. Its straightforward cask selection puts the relationship between smoke, malt and maturation at the centre of the experience, revealing detail beneath the whisky’s considerable intensity.
This is an expressive Islay single malt for drinkers who enjoy powerful peat alongside sweetness, freshness and complexity. A little water offers plenty of scope to explore it at your own pace.
Tasting notes:
Nose: Smoked vanilla, sweet caramel, and toffee notes open on the nose, with sooty smoke balanced with delicate coconut and flaked almonds. There is an unmistakable earthy smokiness and a hint of citrus, with lemon meringue pie cutting through rich barbeque pork.
Palate: Bright citrus, smoke and a distinct minerality come through on the palate, followed by charred oak and beach bonfire embers. Toffee and creamy vanilla are balanced with the earthy smoke, with bright notes of pear, gooseberry fool and green apple simultaneously adding brightness and depth. Roasted coffee, hints of clove and nutmeg begin to come to the fore, with a gentle hint of heather honey.
Finish: Butterscotch and vanilla are balanced with Octomore’s signature earthy peat smoke and a hint of salt spray, with burnt heather and gorse flowers settling on the finish.
