Distilled back in 1990, and bottled in 2021.

Notes from Duncan Taylor Pre-Octave (ie before it was put into the Octave cask): Colour - Young Sauternes.

Nose - Lemon zest with a light pepperiness. Fresh-cut grass and spring blossom enveloped in a light toffee coating.

Palate - More citrus zestiness and white pepper, orange cream and heathery notes, Crisp and full mouth feel. Finish - Touch of oak and the citrus notes persist.

This release (after Octave):

Colour - Copper.

Nose - Dark chocolate, full of dried fruits and honey, prunes, and raisins. Old sweet madeira wine, Christmas cake and walnuts.

Palate - Sherry notes from the nose continue very strongly on the palate but slightly drier, complex, and nicely rounded, a pinch of pipe tobacco, a complete classic sherried Speysider.

Finish - Long, and follows the same flavour profile as the palate, softly spicy with some cloves in the aftertaste.

Distilled at Aultmore Whisky Distillery, bottled by Duncan Taylor.
