Description
For upwards of forty years the team at Duncan Taylor has experimented by maturing whiskies in smaller casks with great success. The Octave is born from the simple premise that there is more wood interaction with a spirit that is matured for a short time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid melding of wood and spirit character. After a second maturation the octave casks have refined the whisky, enhancing its hue, aroma and taste. The overall flavour profile is gently expanded, a little more sophisticated with the commanding presence of a mature, well balanced Scotch whisky.
