Special Features:

A three-month finish in a reconstructed ex-sherry octave shapes this single-cask bottling from The Octave series. The Highland single malt was distilled in 2010 and matured for a total of 14 years. Its final maturation took place in octave number 12042253. This small cask format has a greater internal wood surface area relative to the volume of liquid than conventional cask sizes, which can produce a stronger wood influence in a shorter time.

Grapes, apricot jam, plum and butterscotch meet salty, olive-like and spicy accents. Duncan Taylor bottled the whisky in 2024 as a Germany Exclusive for the German market. The edition comprises just 90 individually numbered bottles at 55.2% alcohol. It is non-chill-filtered, contains no colouring and comes in a presentation tube.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, ripe grapes and creamy apricot jam combine with toasted oak. Salt and mixed peppercorns complement the fruity notes.
  • Palate: On the palate, gentle sherry sweetness and plum juice meet a fresh sea breeze and green olives. Notes of butterscotch cake add to the flavours.
  • Finish: The medium-length finish reveals raisins and seagrass, with subtle oak spice.

Distillery/Bottler:

Duncan Taylor began in 1938 as a cask broker and trading company. Selecting casks to be filled with new-make spirit at Scottish distilleries has long been part of the company's approach. This developed into an extensive private collection of old and rare whiskies. Today, Duncan Taylor operates as an independent whisky merchant, blender and bottler.

In Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Duncan Taylor has its own cask warehouses, a cooperage and facilities for blending and bottling whisky. The Octave series uses small casks for the targeted finishing of selected whiskies. The Highland distillery behind this edition remains unnamed; Duncan Taylor is responsible for the independent bottling.
