Duncan Taylor The Octave Aultmore 13 Year Old 2008 52.3% ABV

Duncan Taylor The Octave Aultmore 13 Year Old 2008 is a single cask Speyside single malt from Aultmore, a distillery valued by blenders for its substantial spirit and delicate floral character, which owes much to long fermentations, small stills and slow distillation. Distilled in 2008, it aged 13 years in oak casks, the last nine months in a sherry octave, before Duncan Taylor bottled it in 2022 at cask strength of 52.3% ABV. Only 83 bottles were filled, presented in 700ml bottles with a tube.

Tasting Notes: Dark chocolate, leather, cocoa powder, trifle, digestive biscuits and custard.

Serve: Neat, or with a dash of water.
