‘Octave Invigorated’

Single Malts Direct are proud to be the first to offer Duncan Taylor’s Octave Collection of single malt and grain whiskies.  We are offering these first bottlings exclusively to you as a Single Malts Direct customer, there are 3 types available in the range initially, Bowmore 1982 @ £89.99inc VAT, Caperdonich 1972 @ £114.99 inc VAT  and Cameronbridge 1978 @ £79.99 inc VAT.  These can be purchased individually or as a trio for £250.00 inc VAT

The Caperdonich bottle will be provided with a signed certificate (see below) to show the authenticity of this first release, each bottle is numbered and signed by Euan Shand of Duncan Taylor.  Caperdonich is even more highly sought after amongst drinkers and collectors alike due to the recent news that the distillery will officially never produce whisky again, therefore a great collectors item and a must have however this bottling should be drank so why not buy 2, one to drink and one to add to your collection!

The whisky in the Octave Range has not been chill-filtered or coloured, whiskies were originally matured in standard sized casks before undergoing Sherry Octave Invigoration for the final three months.  This process has energized and added vitality to the whiskies as shown by the before and after tasting notes on the back label of the bottles.  Each Octave has produced only 70 bottles and each cask is uniquely numbered.  Grab your chance of being one of the first in the Octave revolution.
