About this Duncan Taylor Octave

The Octave range uses ex-sherry wood octaves, which are approximately 60-litre casks, for a short finishing period to gently expand the flavour profile without overpowering the distillery character. This stemmed from the simple premises that there is more interaction between the wood and spirit over a short period of time ina small cask than in a large cask, allowing for a faster melding of words, air and alcohol. Due to these small sized-casks, each Octave release is very limited to less than 90 bottles.

This Tullibardine 9yo Octave spent the final 4 months of its maturation in an Octave cask. This release of only 88 bottles, is bottled at cask strength, non chill-filtered and natural colouring.
