Description
Octomore 12.2 follows in the footsteps of previous Sauternes legends.
The now infamous Octomore 4.2 (Comus) became one of the most acclaimed and sought- after whiskies in the distillery’s portfolio, confirming that heavy peat smoke combined with sweet dessert wine of Sauternes is an incredible pairing.
This Octomore 12.2 would spend three and a half years in ex-American oak casks, building a solid foundation of fruity and floral spirit in their Lochside warehouses before being re-casked in to impeccable quality Sauternes casks.
The pivotal role of the Sauternes casks would add 18 months of supercharged fruit.
Melon, white peach, honeysuckle and coconut add a real twist and sweetness to compliment the peat smoke of this heavily phenolic malt.
