Octomore 2013 11 Year Old Single Cask UK Exclusive

An Octomore, single cask, bottled at 11 years old – 100% first fill bourbon sitting at 107PPM. What a delight!
 
Part of the ground-breaking explorative Octomore series, Octomore 2013 11 Year Old Single Cask is UK exclusive, available for the first time with just 246 bottles in circulation. A truly exceptional piece of liquid history, each bottling was hand selected by Head Distiller Adam Hannett, and is as unique as a fingerprint, with barley varietal, PPM, abv, cask type, and vintage being specific to each cask, 
Sitting at 107 ppm and bottled at 59.4% abv, the aromas of this dram are reminiscent of bonfires and briny ham, with light notes of honey mingling in the background, whilst the palate explores regions of robust and oily smoked toffee and cooking spices. A powerful yet surprisingly smooth drink that Islay peat lovers will certainly enjoy.
 
Nose: Aromatic and enticing, dominated by fireside smoke, but with undertones of crispy bacon, and a whiff of honey-infused brine.
Palate: Rich and decadently peated, yet never overpowering in its intensity. Smoke intertwines with citrus fruits freshness, while dark chocolate and cinder toffee add a mellow sweetness to round out the balanced flavours. 
Finish: The lingering warmth of charred vanilla and oak leaves a sweet and smoky impression that lasts.
