Product Description
From these 50L Octave casks comes a rare and tiny batch. To reflect its unique journey, we’ve given these bottles a musical-themed label inspired by the term “octave” – a playful nod to both their rarity and the harmony of flavours inside. Check out the other Octave cask in November’s Outturn here and watch this space for more of these casks.
Tasting Notes
The neat nose suggested beeswax candles, hessian, pork goulash with paprika and Iberico ham. We also detected toffee popcorn, chocolate honeycomb bars and the funk of earthy forest mulch. Water brought aromas of triple sec, cola syrup, dried heather, sweet moscatel and oak spice. When neat, the palate was full of playful notes of red cola cubes, eucalyptus, candied fennel seed, chilli dipping sauce, stem ginger and wisps of wood smoke. Reduction revealed spiced apricot jam, orange segments in fruit salad, lemon peel, gentle tannin and strawberry wine. This was matured in a bourbon barrel for 11 years before being transferred to a first fill 50-litre PX cask.
