Comparing Octomore 11.1 and 11.3 gives one of our finest lessons in stratospheric smoke and barley terroir. While both editions are malted to a Brobdingnagian 100+PPM reading, the differences in barley character from the respective growing region is ever present. Our Octomore Islay barley is grown each year by friend and farmer James Brown, on Octomore farm itself. It is harvested, malted and distilled separately, even from our other Islay barley harvests, in order to become a single field, single vintage single malt.
Nose: Grilled apricots, seashore, toffee and plenty of campfire smoke.
Palate: The flavours are well-balanced with rich tones of fruit and butterscotch layered over wet ash, sea spray, and dried stone fruit.
Finish: Long, rich, and briny with a bit of sweet.
