Description
A reimagining of the most famous Octomore release in our history, Octomore Black Art is an homage to our experimental history to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
Beautifully fragrant and fruit-forward Octomore where floral elegance and tropical sweetness meet persistent smoke and tempered oak. It is a spirit of immense power, yet possesses a silken, architectural refinement. A masterpiece of paradox.
TASTING NOTES
Nose
Peat smoke drifts gradually at first, with whispers of honeysuckle and geranium leaf. Then a vibrant surge of bright tropical fruits, melon, mango and sun-ripened peach – intermingled with the intensity of stewed orchard apples and sweet apricot jam. Opulent layers of vanilla crème brûlée and zesty orange marmalade emerge, beautifully enveloped by smoked barley, fragrant marzipan and toasted praline. As the spirit breathes, it reveals a structural depth of resinous toasted oak and gingerbread spice, a bold counterpart to peat smoke and fruit.
palate
Exceptionally rich and viscous on the palate, oily and rounded. Jammy stoned fruits and tropical sweetness coat the senses, balanced by roasted marzipan and salted hazelnuts. Beneath the surface, toasted oak and supple worn leather provide a strong foundation with cracked black pepper, nutmeg and gingerbread bringing a gentle spiced warmth.
finish
Long and elegant. Echoes of sweet, charred oak and tropical fruit slowly surrender to the last accent of ethereal peat smoke which lingers delicately.
