Matured for five years, always super-heavily peated and bottled close to cask strength, Octomore’s surprising elegance has led us to define it as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Impossible Equation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. An experiment which pushes the boundaries of whisky making, the series explores the influence of terroir, cask management and varying peat levels on the final flavour – with each single malt having its own distinct and unique character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePeated to 108.2 PPM and distilled from 100% Scottish barley, matured in a combination of American oak, red wine, and French ex-cognac casks.
