About the Producer
Duncan Taylor has been successfully maturing Single Malt, Blended Malt, and Single Grain Scotch Whiskies in Octave casks for decades. The Octave’s 63-litre size increases spirit contact with the wood, encouraging a shorter, more flexible maturation cycle.
Hand- selected and assembled across multiple types of oak, each Octave yields an alluring and unique taste profile. Bottled at natural strength and colour, the Octave delivers all that is unique from the parent cask, with a distinct character and dimension only nature, time, and craft knowledge can provide.
