Description
For upwards of forty years the team at Duncan Taylor has experimented by maturing whiskies in smaller casks with great success. The Octave range works on the simple premise that there is more wood interaction with whisky over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid melding of flavours to occur. After a second maturation the octave casks have refined the whisky, enhancing its hue, aroma and flavour profile. The flavour profile is gently expanded, a little more sophisticated with the commanding presence of a mature, well balanced Scotch Whisky. Distilled in 1990, this whisky underwent a nine-month finishing period in a small sherry octave cask, enhancing both richness and intensity.
