Detailed Description
The peaty edition in the second batch of the Octaves series from Glenglassaugh. It’s smoky spirit aged in a selection of tiny 65-litre octave casks, themselves made from casks that previously held bourbon, port and oloroso sherry. It’s a rich and sweet dram with balanced savoury peat smoke.

Palate: Firm, powerful. A well-balanced attack gives equal footing to aromas of peat, smoke, spices.
Finish: Long and dry with gentle warm spice.
