OctomoreEdition 04.2 / 4_167 Comus 167 PPM

Octomore Edition 04.2 / 4_167 Comus 167 PPM is a single malt Scotch whisky known for its intense peat levels and youthful vibrancy. At just 5 years old, this whisky showcases the distillery's commitment to pushing the boundaries of peat influence, with a phenol content of 167 parts per million (PPM). This edition is named after Comus, the Greek god of revelry, hinting at the indulgent and celebratory nature of the spirit.

The whisky is matured in a combination of American oak and Sauternes casks, which impart a unique sweetness and complexity to the heavily peated profile. The Sauternes casks, in particular, add layers of honeyed fruit and a rich, dessert-like quality that balances the intense smokiness. This interplay of sweet and smoky makes it a fascinating dram for both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to peated whiskies.

On the palate, the whisky is bold and full-bodied, with a robust character that reflects its high peat content. Despite its youth, it offers a surprisingly complex array of flavors, from sweet vanilla and oak to rich, earthy peat. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of smoke and sweetness that invites another sip.
