Octave Teaninich 2015, 9yo cask 6745663 @ 53.5%

A limited single cask release from Duncan Taylor's acclaimed Octave series, featuring Teaninich — a Highland distillery rarely seen as a single malt bottling.

Distilled in 2015 at Teaninich and matured for 9 years, this Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky was finished in Octave cask #6745663 — approximately one-eighth the size of a traditional butt. The smaller cask increases interaction between the whisky and the wood, adding richness, balance, and complexity while preserving the whisky's original character.

Bottled at its natural 53.5% cask strength with no chill filtration and no added color, this limited single cask release offers a rare opportunity to explore a distillery that seldom appears under its own name.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Sugared almonds, floral, pancakes with syrup, orange peel, pouring cream.

Palate: Dried mango, sherry, sweet oak, ginger, custard.

Finish: Medium and warming, with lingering dried fruit, custard, and a gentle fade of ginger spice.

How to Drink It

Neat: The recommended way to experience this release — the floral and fruit character shines at cask strength.

With Water: A few drops open up the orange peel and mango layers beautifully.

In Cocktails: The dried mango and ginger profile makes a natural base for a Whisky Sour or a spiced Highball.
