Tasting Notes

• Color: Golden Syrup
• Nose: Experience the rich aroma of smoked cinder toffee, malted Islay barley sugar, and honey, balanced with fresh citrus. Notes of dried fruit and crushed seashells mingle with intense peat smoke, cloves, toasted nuts, and a hint of coconut.
• Palate: Despite its high strength, Octomore 15.3 is exceptionally smooth and rounded. Enjoy the creamy vanilla and butterscotch, enhanced by dried fruit and sweet orange zest, with toasted oak and barley sugar underpinned by waves of dry smoke.
• Finish: A lingering taste of burnt sugar, coconut, and delicate sea spray, with earthy peat smoke that invites you back for more.
