Octomore first brings out the flavours, expressiveness and uniqueness in each bottling, thanks to careful selection of barley, cask and phenol concentration. The 14.1 offers an experience as refreshing and dynamic as its predecessors. It has been distilled from 100 % Scottish barley with a ppm of 128.9. As the backbone of the series, its taste can be likened to the starting point for the other flavours, which take other directions. It seduces with a wonderful balance of woody, smoky, malty and mature flavours. The 5-year maturation took place in first-fill American Oak casks and brought out the best of the raw materials, such as notes of vanilla, sweet caramel and citrus fruit, all wrapped up in the intensity and elegance of the smoky flavour typical of Octomore, with a hint of roasted coffee beans and spices.
