Octomore 15.2, 57.9%

The second in the set of three Octomore annual releases, matured in second-fill bourbon and wine barrels and finished in cognac casks. Generous but very balanced aromas of peat smoke, lilac, dried seaweed, sea shells, and grape hard candy. It serves up flavors of peat embers, lemon, chocolate, muted oak, and heat. A spicy, lemony finish also brings more maritime notes and salinity, plus vanilla and earthy oak.
