Had a sample of this. My first octomore and it is what I expect. A strong alcoholic medicinic smokey islay. What amazes me most is the almost oily texture, spreads very well all over my mouth.

Quite expensive but really tasty.

It has an oily viscosity and a relatively strong bouquet. I have aromas of dry peat smoke, citrus fruit, maritime notes, honey sweetness, vanilla, pipe tobacco and malty sweetness. Moderately complex. A good balance between sweetness and dryness in terms of taste. The alcohol is well integrated and has a relatively heavy body.

On an iodine background, an extremely soft balance. Delicate, almost tender. The influence of bourbon is felt, honey, lime pulp, but also the barrels of wine, sweet, candied white plum, we recognize Sauternes. The beach in a very sunny location. Pastry side, icing sugar, sponge cake. The peat is barely noticeable, and yet it is very strong. It's hard to say otherwise. It is so well integrated that it is in the texture of each scent. But it does not impose itself. Slight astringency all the same. The vanilla is really intense, it's like crunching the grains one by one inside the pod. Adding water does not help much, on the contrary. A little charcoal if you let it air out for a long time. In the mouth, it is very smooth, here too the Sauternes is essential, but also a saline side, oysters, lemonade, then the spices rise, without it being too strong. Coriander, cloves, bay leaves. Mirabelles in the finish, then it's rather woody, meaty, from duck to orange I would say. It is very long. Very smooth overall, no plastic or medicinal touch. Great art.

sweet, sweeter, sauternes, and that with 3rd-Fill, I like that, but that's probably also over for some

Smoke, charred wood, smoked ham, metallic sweetness, with subtle dates wrapped in bacon, a bit of green apple with citrus notes, with light spicy cherry notes. Really exciting. Find the Octomore very complex.

Nose:
Have you ever tried freshly fried bacon on honey bread? I don't, but that's what comes to mind first when nosing! Oak seasoning and herbal notes follow. I also notice apricot jam, nuts and some ash. After adding water there is a hint of milk chocolate.

Taste:
The smoke is not as strong as expected, the Octomore is sweet and spicy with a little dry oak. A full and rather oily mouthfeel! There is still some chilliness. With a few drops of water, the smoke is reduced and citrus and herbal notes appear.

Outlet:
The finish is medium long and very creamy! Sweet and spicy aromas dominate here.
