Description
For many years, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Limited has experimented in the use of differing cask sizes, in order to produce the very best Scotch Whiskies. This research stemmed from the simple premise that there is more interaction between the wood and spirit over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, allowing a faster melding of wood, air and alcohol. To great delight, the spirit that resulted from this method of maturation was of a significantly higher quality coming from a larger cask over a similar period of time. It had become smoother, more mellow and a less burning spirit. As the spirit in these stages matured, the taste profile was changed dramatically, becoming akin to a whisky of a far more mature nature or vintage. It was refined, broad and superb with great diversity. Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Limited are now proud to present The Octave cask range, the culmination of many years spent refining this unique maturation process. Our aim for this bottle is to provide connoisseurs of good whisky taken beyond all expectations to become rich, complex and wise beyond its years. It has been 'Octave Inspired'.
