  • I've got an 8.3 on the go at the minute, easily the most fragile octomore I've had. Touch of water opens it up nicely but you have to be really careful as it doesn't take much to wash it out.

  • Just looked up the 8.3 and have got a bit confused. I thought each release (x.1,2,3 etc) was the same base spirit matured in different ways but I seem to be way out as the 8.3 is a 5yr and the 8.2 is an 8yr. What’s the relationship between the bottles from each release or is it purely that they’re released together?

  • It's the barley as well, 1 and 2 are Scottish barley. 3 is islay grown barley from a local farmer.

    1 is pretty much just bourbon and Tennessee whisky barrels and 2 is the experimental edition that can be matured in anything.
