Producer Description
"Continuing the Series 16 odyssey, this elegant single malt explores the influence of barley grown in Church Field on Octomore Farm, Islay. A symphony of honeyed malt, toasted grain and a distinctive earthiness meet delicate threads of smoke and salinity.
"An Octomore of balance and restraint, this expression showcases the elegance and complexity possible when the spotlight shifts from cask influence to the spirit’s inherent character. It’s an Octomore for contemplation, a quiet giant that reveals its depths slowly, highlighting the interplay of homegrown barley, smoke, and the subtle floral essence of Islay."
