Octomore 14.2 uses the same barley varietal and is malted to the same PPM as the 14.1, but the liquids diverge profoundly with the influence of wine and sherry casks on the 14.2 spirit.

With over 200 different cask types in the warehouses, Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, has selected casks that have previously held Oloroso and Amarone – with the distinct sweetness and nuttiness of this combination creating an exceptional single malt.

Hailing from the renowned wine regions of Spain and Italy respectively, the spirit is then brought together in French oak, adding remarkable depth and complexity to the single malt. Octomore’s signature peak smoke notoriously pairs well with Oloroso sherry casks, with the influence of the wood adding a robust, savoury flavour to the final spirit.

The oak from the Amarone casks also has a significant impact on the spirit, imparting rich, red fruit notes - giving structure and cohesion to the 14.2.

Tasting Notes

NOSE
Leather, prunes, red currents and malted barley
come to the fore, followed by toasted oak and hints
of cinnamon, green apple and black pepper. Waves of
smoke and distinct red fruits follow, complemented
with cereal notes of malt and porridge. The peat
smoke is dry and brooding, with a hint of burnt
heather and subtle pipe tobacco from the oak.

PALATE
The influence of the European oak is unmissable,
with a touch of dryness balanced with the vibrancy
of wood spices, smoked oak and roasted coffee.
Barbeque sweetness and a crack of black pepper is
complemented with rich fruit cake and dried fruits. A
drop of water opens the smoke and fruity sweetness
from the wine casks, bringing a beautiful balance as notes of apple and pear grow with the dram.

FINISH
Smoked malt, smouldering oak and sea
salt settle on the finish, as Octomore’s
signature earthy smoke lingers.
