Octomore 14.2 uses the same barley varietal and is malted to the same PPM as the 14.1, but matures in a combination of Oloroso and Amarone casks. The liquids diverge profoundly and the distinct sweetness and nuttiness of this combination create an exceptional single malt. The spirit is then brought together in French oak, adding remarkable depth and complexityt.

Octomore’s signature peak smoke notoriously pairs well with Oloroso sherry casks, with the influence of the wood adding a robust, savory flavour to the final spirit.
The oak from the Amarone casks also has a significant impact on the spirit, imparting rich, red fruit notes - giving structure and cohesion to the 14.2.
