The Glen Moray 2007 DT The Octave Ex Sherrywood Octave Cask is a remarkable single malt whisky hailing from the Speyside region, meticulously crafted by the family-run Duncan Taylor. This exquisite Scotch was distilled in 2007 and has spent around 15 years maturing in American oak casks at the Glen Moray Distillery. To add a unique depth of flavor, it was further aged for three months in octave casks previously used for Spanish sherry. These smaller casks offer a more intense interaction with the whisky, imparting rich and nuanced characteristics. Bottled in 2023, this whisky boasts an ABV of 54.7% and is part of a limited release of just 79 bottles. The resulting spirit is a powerful and complex blend that captivates the senses with its finely spicy, fruity, and sweet profile. Expect an aromatic bouquet featuring notes of apple, caramel, butterscotch, and sherry, underlined by a warm, woody undertone. For those who find the high alcohol content a bit intense, a few drops of water can beautifully open up its flavors. Scottish whisky like this one benefits immensely from the interplay of various factors during its long maturation period. The type of wood, cask size, and the previous contents of the cask all profoundly influence the final character of the whisky. The Duncan Taylor Octave Glen Moray 2007/2023 Single Malt Whisky is a testament to the rewards of such meticulous experimentation, brought to us by a renowned independent bottler whose Scottish whiskies consistently meet the highest standards of connoisseurs worldwide.
Octave cask maturation involves using smaller casks, which allows for a more intense interaction between the whisky and the wood. This process can impart deeper and more complex flavors in a shorter period.
While it can be enjoyed neat, adding a few drops of water can help temper the high ABV of 54.7% and open up its intricate flavors, making it a versatile dram for various palates.
This release is highly exclusive, with only 79 bottles available, making it a prized possession for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Overall: The Glen Moray 2007 DT The Octave Ex Sherrywood Octave Cask is a well-balanced single malt that marries the sweetness and fruitiness of its Speyside origin with the rich, complex flavors imparted by its unique octave cask maturation. This whisky offers an inviting and layered experience, from its aromatic nose to its lingering finish.
The Glen Moray 2007 DT The Octave Ex Sherrywood Octave Cask stands out as a robust and intricately flavored whisky.
