Octomore single malt has defied perceived whisky wisdom since its launch in 2008. Matured for five years, always super-heavily peated and bottled close to cask strength, Octomore’s surprising elegance has led us to define it as The Impossible Equation. An experiment which pushes the boundaries of whisky making, the latest series explores the influence of terroir, cask management and peat levels on the final flavour – with each single malt having its own distinct and unique character.
