A super single cask bottling from Duncan Taylor's The Octave series here, this expression was distilled in 2008 at Glentauchers in Speyside. It was aged for 15 years in oak casks before it spent three months in a small octave cask. Just 79 bottles were filled at 54.2% ABV in 2023.
Cinnamon, orange peel, dark chocolate, red apple skins, and tropical fruit.
Vanilla, caramel, Bakewell tart, pecan, nutmeg, and oak char.
Gentle spice and glazed cherries.
Nose: Tangerine, cinnamon, pear, the juice from tinned fruit cocktail, oven baked caramelised onion. Lovely! Palate: Love hearts, strawberry, ginger, honeycomb, caramel, raisin, clove, oak, sherbet. Very very very nice!
