2008 Duncan Taylor The Octave Drumblade 9 Year Old Cask Strength Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

For many years, Duncan Taylor has experimented in the use of differing cask sizes for the maturation of Single Malt and Single Grain Scotch whiskies. The research stemmed from a simple premise that there is more interaction between the wood and the spirit over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid “melding” of wood, air and alcohol.

Finished in small, reconstructed x-sherry wood casks, this blended malt takes small batch maturation to an extreme, yielding just 65 bottles! Expect a creamy, citrusy whisky with hints of pepper, orange blossom, icing sugar and thyme. 53.8% Alc./Vol.
Very limited stocks.
