Whisky An Iconic Speyside 2010 Duncan Taylor The Octave

700ml BOTTLE

An Iconic Speyside 2010 is released by Duncan Taylor in 2019 as an exclusive for the Italian distributor Compagnia dei Caribbean. Produced in an unknown Speyside distillery this whisky Single Cask is aged for 8 years in an American oak barrel and aged for the last nine months in an Octave ex Sherry oak barrel; only 138 bottles were released.

Duncan Taylor's goal is to select whisky unique to be put on the market often as a single cask, i.e. without joining several casks as happens in most cases. The products of the "The Octave" range are aged in smaller casks, called Octave Cask, which represents 1/8 of the size of a standard cask and contains about 50 liters of whisky without however masking its character, creating a more complex and audacious spirit.

TASTE: Notes of tropical fruits, almonds, lemon peel; finish with a floral character, with plums, sweet sherry and aromatic herbs.

AGING: American oak barrels and Octave barrels of European oak ex Sherry.
