Octomore is the whisky that dares to go beyond the limits of peat, and Edition 07.1 is no exception. Crafted from Scottish barley and peated to an astonishing 208 PPM, it delivers a raw, elemental intensity that’s been tamed by five years of maturation in American oak. It’s bold, unapologetic, and a collector’s dream, the kind of dram that demands respect with every sip.
