Octomore 16.3 is a showcase of single estate Islay barley, high peating levels and masterful cask maturation;the archetypal Octomore liquid. Continuing the Series 16 odyssey, this elegant single malt explores the influence of barley grown in Church Field on Octomore Farm, Islay. A symphony of honeyed malt, toasted grain and a distinctive earthiness meet delicate threads of smoke and salinity. 16.3 has been aged 5 years full term in Bourbon, Sauternes and Pedro Ximénez casks with Islay barley malted to 189.5 ppm and bottled at 61.6% ABV.

A symphony of honeyed malt, toasted grain and a distinctive earthiness greet the palate. Orchard fruits, citrus and a touch of vanilla sweetness follow, whilst delicate threads of smoke and salinity weave through the malt, providing a gentle counterpoint to heather and coconutty gorse.
A medium-length finish of sweet barley, accompanied by subtle floral notes, which give way to the gentle smokiness of a beach bonfire. Citrus and a touch of minerality linger on.
