The Octave Bowmore 1998 19 years Cask# 3721273 53.9% Single Cask Scotch Whisky 750mL
The Octave Bowmore 1998 19 Year Old Single Cask Scotch Whisky (Cask #3721273) 53.9% ABV, 750 mL is a rare, cask-strength Islay single malt from Bowmore Distillery, independently bottled by Duncan Taylor in their acclaimed The Octave series. Distilled in 1998 and aged for 19 years, this single-cask release was finished in a small Octave cask, enhancing the whisky’s natural richness, complexity, and oak-driven character.
Bottled at 53.9% ABV, it perfectly balances Bowmore’s signature peat smoke, maritime minerality, and rich oak influence, delivering a bold yet refined Islay profile. This limited edition single-cask release is highly sought after by collectors, whisky enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a premium, high-proof single malt with distinctive Islay character.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Elegant and expressive, with sea salt, brine, and coastal peat smoke, complemented by citrus zest, vanilla, soft oak spice, and hints of smoked driftwood. The nose evokes the rugged maritime environment of Islay.
Palate
Full-bodied and richly textured at 53.9% cask strength. Flavors of smoked caramel, toffee, peat smoke, and grapefruit or lemon zest dominate, followed by oak tannins, maritime minerality, and subtle herbal notes. The Octave finish enhances intensity and complexity without overwhelming the classic Bowmore peat character.
Finish
Long, warming, and evolving. Lingering peat smoke, salted oak, citrus peel, and a subtle dry woodiness define the finish, with just a touch of residual sweetness from toffee and caramel.
