Octomore 17.2 uses the same heavily peated spirit used for 17.1, distilled from 100% Scottish mainland Concerto barley and peated to 81 PPM. However this version spent four years in second fill French oak casks that had previously held Californian red wine, followed by bourbon, before being finished in first fill port barriques. It is the first time Octomore has used this particular combination of casks, bringing together the range's trademark peat smoke with rich red fruit and spice.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

 

Colour – Deep amber 

Nose – Opens with ripe red fruits and soft, jammy sweetness suggestive of late-harvest berries and stone fruit jam. Raspberry and blackcurrant preserve and florals redolent of Turkish Delight mingle with toasted oak, clove and aniseed spice. The smoke is dry - wood-fired rather than phenolic, like smouldering embers. Hints of barley flour, fresh linen, leather and coastal iodine bring freshness and structure, with coconut and ginger warmth developing in the glass.

Palate – Supple and viscous, immediately coating the mouth in wine-poached berries and spiced fruits. Strawberry, blackberry and cassis are followed by barley sugars and dark syrup sweetness. Peat smoke builds steadily, pepper y and earthy, alongside lemon zest and lime oils that brighten the palate. Oak tannins and gentle warmth lend depth and balance.

Finish – Long and luxurious. Raisins, toasted oak and sweet malt fade gradually into dry, maritime salt and char. As the fruit recedes, a distinct Octomore signature remains — persistent peat smoke and soft spice linger on irresistibly.
