PRODUCT DETAILS
Just 52 tonnes of precious Islay barley were malted to produce this single farm Octomore 09.3 edition. Raised in Irene?s Field on Octomore Farm in 2011, this single malt was later distilled and filled into 134 casks. Predominantly second-fill, the gentler influence of the wood allows more of the locally grown barley flavours to cut through the intense peat smoke. Aromas of malted barley, Horlicks, the smell of the mash going into the mashtun. Heather wildfire, black tea, golden syrup, lemon sponge. Golden syrup on the palate initially with smoked tea, wort, malted barley, pear, peach melba. Sea spray and heather flowers develop. Intense smoke of the finish with toasted oak, rye bread and salt.
