Octomore 13.1, called The Impossible Equation, is a five-year-old peated Islay single malt at 59.2% ABV. The barley was harvested in 2015 on a farm on the Scottish mainland and peated to 137.3 ppm.
It matured for five years in first-fill ex-bourbon casks of American oak. In 2021 head distiller Adam Hannett moved it into fresh first-fill ex-bourbon casks, which adds notes of dark toffee and coconut. It is a limited edition.
The nose is nutty and smoky, with malty sweetness, ripe fruit, apricots in syrup and ripe pear. The palate is sweet and soft, with heavily peated malt and smoked muesli with fruit and honey. Earthy, mossy notes and herbal smoke close the finish.
