Tasting Notes

Genre: Industrial Symphony — Ferocious, Structured, Unapologetic

 

Octomore 14.1 isn’t just peat-forward — it’s peat reimagined as architecture. Built on Scottish-grown Concerto barley peated to a fearsome 128.9ppm, aged five years in first-fill American oak, this is the keystone of the 14 series — a whisky where structure, smoke, and spirit reach harmonic convergence.

 

In the glass, it radiates a brilliant pale gold, almost misleading in its delicacy. But the nose wastes no time: charred lemon rind and antiseptic peat rise fast, chased by sea breeze, iodine, and freshly split firewood. As it opens, vanilla pod, toasted marshmallow, and bourbon-drenched oak begin to bloom, offering a kind of warmth beneath the elemental haze.

 

On the palate, it detonates. First a hit of briny peat — sharp, saline, and full of black pepper and wood ash. Then the depth kicks in: grilled pineapple, clove-studded orange, honeyed cereal, and coconut husk. The bourbon casks speak loudly here, layering sweetness and spice into the raw power of the spirit.

 

Mid-palate stretches out into something more elegant: burnt sugar crust, smoked stone fruit, and a touch of leather and oak char. The balance is sublime — fire meets finesse. This is Octomore at its most calculated — a controlled burn, a flamethrower guided by a maestro’s baton.

 

The finish is tidal — long, rolling, and unrelenting. Sea salt, smoke, citrus oil, and malted grain echo like the ring of iron in a stillhouse. 14.1 is raw artistry. A blast of distilling prowess and elemental honesty that proves Octomore is as much about philosophy as fire.
