The Tullibardine Octave cask NO: 10539244 has aged for 10 years in oak casks, then spent the final 4 months in a sherry octave cask. This release of only 84 bottles, is bottled at a cask strength of 53.6% , non chill-filtered and naturally coloured.
Ever been curious about the process of maturation in an Octave, well we can state that curiosity. Samples of this Octave were drawn before Octivation and 6 weeks along with the finished product, a sample of the sherry that matured in the cask previously and a sample of the water that was used by the experts at Duncan Taylor to cut and sample the whisky at different stages.

For many years, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Limited has experimented in the use of differing cask sizes for the maturation of single malt Scotch whiskies. This research stemmed from the simple premises that there is more interaction between the wood and spirit over a short period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, allowing for a faster melding of wood, air and alcohol.
To great delight, the spirit that resulted from this method of maturation demonstrated a depth of quality missing from a larger cask over a similar period of storage. It had become smoother, more balanced and was bursting with character, With its rough edges removed, the taste profile was changed dramatically, becoming akin to a whisky of a much more mature nature or vintage. It was polished, bright and sparkling with intensity.
