It is finished in Château d'Yquem Sauternes barrels, a highly-regarded white dessert wine from Bordeaux. This whisky is named for Comus, the Greek god of festivity and excess.

Very nice combination of peat and sweet, like drinking ice wine and having a lemony dessert on a campfire. Has notes of lychees, sultanas, cake batter, lemon meringue pie, key lime pie, apricots, smoke, tar, bacon, iodine, cinnamon, white chocolate, coconuts, butterscotch, pineapples, mangoes, and passion fruit. In the Octomore Fab 5, I rank them as OBA, Event Horizon, Comus, Orpheus, X4+10
Nose: Chalky Necco, peat, malt, peaches, nuts and toffee. Palate: Malt, spice, smoke, chalky Necco, dried orchard fruit and toffee. Finish: Long -> Smoke, fruit, malt and a jammy sweetness.
Yum. Saw a bottle of this Octomore, going towards empty in a bar and jumped at the chance. Very peaty, but fruity. Delicious
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
