Octomore 12.2, The Impossible Equation, is a five-year-old Islay single malt bottled at 57.3% in a 70cl bottle. It is made from 100% Concerto barley from the Scottish mainland, at 129.7 ppm, and was matured and bottled on Islay.
Three and a half years in first- and second-fill American whiskey casks, vatted in equal parts in 2019, were followed by 18 months in French first-fill Sauternes casks. It is bottled without chill-filtering or added colour.
The nose brings melon, honey and smoked almonds, turning to toasted oak and earthy smoke. The palate is soft and fruity-sweet with lemon, vanilla and melon, then caramel, baking spices and syrupy fruit. The finish is salty citrus with smoke that grows.
