Supernova is a much more drinkable whisky than Octomore. But both are "Look what we can do" whisky. Octomore (aged in bourbon) is realized best mixed with Port Charlotte (aged in both sherry and bourbon casks) in 3d3, with peat being similar but not quite as nice.
Port Charlotte is the best of the high alcohol content, high peat whisky, to me at least. Octomore, and less so Supernova, are trying too hard to prove how far you can go and just tasty peppery, peaty, and end up less enjoyable than they could.
