Sitting alongside its 11 Series counterparts, this Ten Year Old brings a subtler, more mature dimension to the otherwise youthful exuberance of the .1, .2 and .3 spirits in the 11s series. While Adam deliberately keep’s the barley influence forward in the .1 and .3 editions, the .2 and Ten Year Old editions introduce cask influence at varying ends of the Octomore age spectrum. While the malt for the Octomore Ten Year Old is initially higher in PPM, the influence of those 5 extra years results in a calmer, deeper spirit.

Seventy-seven casks in total have been combined to create this super heavily peated Islay single malt. The maturation profile is predominantly ex-American whiskey cask matured, both first and second fill, with hints of previous releases introducing an additional dimension of Virgin Oak maturation.
