- **Event Description**: Join us for a special tasting as Duncan Taylor’s Andrew Sinat guides us through the Octave Collection, with whisky, stories and insight.About this EventSix whiskies you are unlikely to taste anywhere elseOctave releases are produced in extremely limited quantities. They are typically drawn from an individual cask and bottled at natural or cask strength, creating distinctive versions of whiskies that rarely appear in bars or standard retail ranges.Once these bottles are gone, the same whisky may never be available again.Our specially selected line-up includes:Caol Ila 2008 — 16 Years OldA mature Islay single malt with additional sherry-cask influence.Mannochmore 2015 — 10 Years OldA rarely encountered Speyside distillery presented through the intensity of Octave maturation.North British 2009 — 17 Years OldA mature Lowland grain whisky offering a fascinating contrast to the single malts.Royal Brackla 2014 — 10 Years OldA limited expression from this historic Highland distillery.Auchentoshan — 14 Years OldA rare Octave expression of the triple-distilled Lowland single malt.Craigellachie — 17 Years OldA well-aged Speyside whisky from a distillery renowned for its rich, robust character.What makes an Octave whisky special?The Octave Collection explores what happens when carefully selected mature whisky receives additional maturation in a much smaller cask.An Octave cask is around one-eighth the size of a standard sherry butt. This creates much greater contact between the whisky and the wood, allowing the cask to add new layers of aroma, flavour, colour and complexity.Andrew will take us behind the bottles, explaining:How the Octave maturation process worksWhy particular spirits and casks are selectedHow the smaller cask transforms the whiskyWhat makes each limited release distinctiveHow to identify the influence of the wood in the glassThis is also a first for Derby Whisky Club. We have hosted many tastings over the years, but this will be our first led by a representative of a whisky company. It is a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone with expert knowledge of the whiskies, the casks and the thinking behind the collection.There will be plenty of time to taste, compare, ask questions and talk whisky with Andrew throughout the evening.As always, this will not be a formal or intimidating masterclass. Expect a friendly, relaxed and engaging evening, whether you are an experienced whisky enthusiast or simply interested in discovering something new.With six highly limited Octave releases in one tasting, this is a line-up that would be extremely difficult to recreate yourself.Exceptional whisky. Expert insight. Six exclusive bottlings. One unmissable Derby Whisky Club night.Places are limited, so early booking is strongly recommended.
