The initial maturation in American oak, before finishing in French oak ex-Cognac casks, adds a wealth of complexity to Octomore 15.2. Demonstrating the finesse quality oak has on the final spirit, the 15.2 is simultaneously powerful yet elegant, with the delicate floral character of the whisky coming to the fore. The softness of the oak is unmissable on the palate, working with the spirit’s mineral quality and dry peat smoke beautifully.

15.2 Cask Expression

Octomore 15.2 offers an intriguing and inviting comparison to the 15.1.

Distilled from the same batch of Scottish grown barley, also malted to 108.22 PPM, the 15.2 uses a combination of second fill wine and second fill Bourbon casks, with the spirit finished in first fill Cognac casks. This unique trifecta of casks adds complexity while retaining an elegant single malt Scotch whisky.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Hebridean Sandnose

Nose: Sweet citrus, lime zest and lemon meringue pie open on the nose, followed by toasted oak and a hint of earthy smoke. A medley of tropical fruit enhances the vibrancy of the single malt whisky, balanced with woody spices, smoked honey, toasted bread, and roasted coffee. 

Palate: Viscous in texture, the sumptuously smooth spirit brings vanilla custard, caramel, toffee and a crack of black pepper. Charred oak, cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg provide added depth with pear drops and dried apricot cutting through Octomore’s inimitable peat smoke. 

Finish: An unmistakable maritime quality lands on a finish, with waves of salt spray settling on the palate while peat embers linger.
