The Octave 13 Year Old Auchentoshan 2011 Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask #3545126

From Scotland’s Lowland region, The Octave 13 Year Old Auchentoshan 2011 Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky captures the elegance of a carefully matured dram. Distilled in 2011 at Auchentoshan Distillery and aged 13 years, this rare single cask release rested in oak before spending nine months in a small octave cask with an Oloroso finish, intensifying character and depth. Crafted from malted barley, water, and yeast, the whisky reveals layers of raspberry cream, gentle spice, oak, and soft leather.

Bottled in 2024 by Loch Fyne Whiskies from cask no. 3545126, this limited single malt shows how a tiny octave cask can concentrate flavor into something striking and memorable. The texture is smooth yet expressive, delivering sweet fruit, nutty sherry tones, and a warm, lingering finish. Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its Lowland finesse, though a small splash of water opens the fruit and spice beautifully.
