Octomore 12.2 is a surprising whisky. A peat explosion with a Single Malt having benefited from a finish in Sauternes barrels.

The now famous Octomore 4.2 (Comus) has become one of the most acclaimed whiskies in the Octomore range and the most sought after in the distillery, confirming that the heavy peat combined with the mellow Sauternes wine is an incredible pairing.

This Octomore 12.2 Single Malt has spent three and a half years in old American oak barrels, building a solid base of fruity and floral spirit before being finished in Sauternes barrels of impeccable quality. With an additional maturation of 18 months, the Sauternes casks play a pivotal role in this whisky by providing supercharged fruit. Melon, white peach, honeysuckle, and coconut add real touch and sweetness to complement the peat moss of this strongly phenolic malt.
