    Octomore

    If you love peated whisky, you are going to love to this event. Join us at The Fountain Inn to celebrate the awaited release of the Octomore Fifteen series! The guided tasting event will include a flight of three expressions:Octomore 15.1Octomore 15.2Octomore 15.3In addition you'll also receive a Port Charlotte 10 welcome cocktail accompanied by snacks and light bites.Octomore single malt has defied perceived whisky wisdom since its launch in 2008. Matured for five years, always super-heavily peated and bottled close to cask strength, Octomore’s surprising elegance has led us to define it as The Impossible Equation. An experiment which pushes the boundaries of whisky making, the series explores the influence of terroir, cask management and varying peat levels on the final flavour – with each single malt having its own distinct and unique character.
