Description
For many years, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Limited has experimented in the use of differing cask sizes for the maturation of single cask Scotch Whiskies. This research stemmed from the simple premise that there is more interaction between the wood and spirit when the spirit spends its 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 research, displayed an intensity and depth of quality missing from a larger cask over a similar period of storage. It had become smoother, more mellow, and its rough edges removed, the taste profile was changed dramatically, becoming akin to a whisky of far greater maturity. The whisky is now a well-finished, bright and sparkling with intensity. 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. The spirit in this bottle is an exclusive example of a good whisky taken beyond all expectations to become rich, complex and wise beyond its years. It has been 'Octave Magnified'.
