Octomore Masterclass_08.4 Virgin Oak

The fourth Masterclass release is an 8 year old single malt distilled in 2009 using barley peated to 170ppm. First-fill virgin oak casks held 20% of the spirit for the full maturation, with the remaining 80% in first-fill American ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to the virgin oak casks that had been used to mature Octomore 07.4. Limited to just 12,000 bottles worldwide.

The nose has banana bread, honeyed oak and a peppery phenolic note before toffee, vanilla and cinnamon. The palate is rich and smooth; leather, toasted oak and honey combining with praline, coconut and a delicate smoke. The finish has fading notes of cloves and aniseed with the iconic Octomore smoke lingering on.
