The Octave Auchentoshan 14 Year Old Mizunara Cask

A landmark release has arrived for the Duncan Taylor Octave Range expanding their award-winning Octave range with their first-ever Mizunara Oak Cask Finish. 

Pairing a rare Japanese Mizunara cask with a 14-year-old, triple-distilled Auchentoshan single malt.

Resulting in an extraordinarily complex whisky with notes of creamy rice pudding, golden syrup, mandarin, cedarwood, and lingering ginger warmth. Bottled at 52.1% ABV with an outturn of just 76 bottles worldwide, priced at £125.

Ian Logan, Senior Spirits Manager at Duncan Taylor, said:  "We started experimenting for this project and the Auchentoshan quickly stood out as the ideal match for the style of the cask. The transformation has been remarkable and we're delighted with the outcome. This is just the beginning of our exploration with Mizunara and we're excited to see what other spirit styles work equally well with this exceptional wood."
