About This Whiskey

Octomore is known for its intense peat levels, and the 14.1 bottling continues that tradition with a unique balance of smoke, complexity, and refinement.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is immediately vibrant and intense with layers of smoky peat, but it’s surprisingly approachable with underlying sweetness. There’s a rich, earthy quality—damp ash, charred wood, and smoldering embers. It’s complemented by notes of vanilla, honeycomb, and a subtle tropical fruitiness (think ripe pineapple and dried mango). There’s a trace of maritime saltiness, like sea air, with hints of fresh citrus zest, providing balance to the dense smoke.
TASTE: On the palate, the high ABV makes itself felt immediately with a warming, tingly sensation, but the whisky maintains a remarkable level of smoothness. The peat is unmistakable and potent, with smoky, medicinal notes of antiseptic and burnt rubber, but it’s tempered by sweetness from the oak and an almost creamy texture. Rich vanilla, caramelized sugar, and a touch of toffee provide sweetness, while there’s a fruity contrast—dried apricots, and even a little lemon zest. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and intense, with a complexity that unfolds as you let it sit on the tongue.
FINISH: The finish is long, smoky, and warming, with an enduring peat smoke that lingers on the palate. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving behind a slightly savory, briny note that’s characteristic of Islay malts. There’s a slight medicinal tang in the aftertaste, with a subtle, peppery heat that gradually fades into a dry, smoky afterglow.
