From Duncan Taylor's Octave range comes a 23 year old single malt distilled by Glentauchers! The whisky was distilled in 1996, and before being bottled in 2019, it was given a finishing in an octave cask – which is much smaller than your run-of-the-mill hogshead. Just 52 bottles were produced.
Tasting note:
Nose: Melted butter on popcorn, dusty mahogany, a hint of tobacco.
Palate: Zestier on the palate, with orange and white grape developing, but it retains that cigar box richness throughout.
Finish: Toffee and chocolate, plus a crackle of festive spices.
