- Description
- Duncan Taylor's Octave series uses smaller casks to intensify maturation; this 7-year-old Ardmore from 2010 received an additional 3-month finish in an octave cask before release in 2017, with only 70 bottles produced. The heightened wood contact yields concentrated flavour in a relatively young spirit.
