Description

Seventy-seven casks in total have combined to create this grown up, 10 Year Old expression from Octomore. The maturation comes from predominately ex-American whisky cask matures with hints from previous releases all blended together and all coming from 2009 vintages of the spirit.

Sitting alongside its 11s series counterparts, this Ten Year Old brings a subtler, more mature dimension to the otherwise youthful exuberance of the .1, .2 and .3 spirits. While we deliberately keep the barley influence forward in the .1 and .3 editions, our .2 and Ten Year Old editions introduce cask influence at varying ends of the Octomore age spectrum. While the malt for our Octomore Ten Year Old is initially higher in PPM, the influence of those 5 extra years results in a calmer, deeper spirit.
