Up next from the Elements of Islay whisky series, we have the fourth 'Oc' bottling. Created from four bourbon barrels, distilled in 2010 then bottled at cask strength, 59.1% vol; big and peaty!
Tasting Notes
Oc4 - Elements of Islay (Octomore) Producer Notes
Nose: Clean, with pine smoke and lemongrass. Juniper and fennel seeds make for an intense aromatic experience, with the distillate clearly in the foreground and wood in the background. Of course there is medicinal peatiness, and lots of it.
Palate: White pepper and intense peat reek sit up front. The texture is rich and oily, and while there is heat from the strength, it is all in the background. There is something almost mezcal like about this whisky, run through with smoked juniper and iodine.
Finish: Warm and tangy with flavours of well-cooked meat.
