OctomoreEdition 08.4 Masterclass / 170 PPM Virgin Oak

This whisky is a bold and intense expression, crafted with a high level of peat smoke at 170 PPM. It is aged for 8 years, with a significant portion of its maturation taking place in virgin oak casks, which imparts a unique and robust character to the spirit. The use of virgin oak is relatively rare in the whisky industry, making this edition stand out with its distinctive flavor profile and complexity.

On the nose, this whisky offers a powerful aroma of peat smoke, intertwined with notes of vanilla and oak spices from the virgin oak casks. The palate is equally intense, with a rich and smoky character that is balanced by sweet undertones of caramel and dark chocolate. The virgin oak influence adds layers of complexity, with hints of toasted almonds and a touch of spice.

The finish is long and warming, with the peat smoke lingering on the palate, complemented by a subtle sweetness and a touch of oak. This whisky is a true testament to the art of peated whisky making, offering a bold and memorable experience for those who appreciate heavily peated expressions.
