REMY COINTREAU
The Remy Cointreau Group whose origins date from 1724 is the
result of the merger in 1990 of the holding companies of the
Heriard Dubreuil and Cointreau families that controlled
E. Remy Martin & Cie S.A. respectively.

OCTOMORE
THE 14TH CHAPTER OF EXTRAORDINARY
Our story is one of exploration and discovery.
With Octomore, we reach for the outer edges of this creed.
Born of restless, inquisitive minds, this 14th captivating series once again upends whisky making convention.
Fresh, imaginative combinations of barley provenance, intense peat levels, and casks with their own rich histories, create powerful, enduring experiences that arrest the senses.
While seemingly irreconcilable distilling principles are resolved with elegance, imagination, and flair.
Octomore 14.1
Octomore 14.1 offers not only a reference for the series, but essential context for the other expressions. Born of 100% Scottish barley and malted to 128.9 PPM, the oak influence of first fill ex American whiskey casks is subtle yet intrinsic to its character. From within its signature peat smoke, hints of citrus emerge, weaving gently through notes of vanilla and sweet caramel.
Octomore 14.2
Sharing barley provenance and peat intensity with the 14.1, five years in Oloroso and Amarone casks take Octomore 14.2 in a different, but no less intriguing direction. Peat smoke and sherry are famously complementary, resolving in a robust, savoury flavour. Notes of red currents, rich fruit cake and roasted coffee are enveloped in a rich, resonant peat smoke.
Octomore 14.3
Completing the trinity, Octomore 14.3 offers adventurous souls a vivid and powerful flavour. Anchored by super-heavy peat and harvests exclusively from its island home, the 14.3 is matured in a combination of bourbon casks and second fill wine casks, to an unrepentant 214.2 PPM. Aromas of hot, sweet mash join notes of sweet vanilla, toffee, and delicate earthy smoke, providing the collection with a bold, unforgettable finale.
