Oban Distillers Edition 750ml

Year of Bottling may vary. Importers and entrepreneurs, the founders of Oban distillery would have approved of the Spanish influence brought to bear with this edition�s second maturation in Montilla Fino cask wood finish. Distillery: Oban Age: Varies. Double matured in Montilla Fino cask wood. Strength: 43% ABV. Place of Origin: Oban. Region: West Highland. Taste: in brief� Salty sea breezes, crashing waves of fruit, malty aftermath. in a sentence... Fruity, pungent, seriously complex whisky of the very highest order � a glorious zesty nose and masses of sweet fruit attack complemented by salt and chewy, roasty caramel malt. Nose: Fruity and pungent, yet it is the coastal sea-breeze effect which really captures the imagination. Oban often has a salty tinge to its character, here accentuated with crushed fresh grape juice, orange zest and a hint of smoke adding to the massive complexity. This is outstanding. Palate: The most explosive Oban ever. Starts with soft malt, then wave upon wave of delicate yet rich fruit notes pounds the tastebuds. They are carried in on a tide of brine, squaring impressively with the chewy malt. Finish: Not so long as the big start on the palate might suggest, but lots of slightly sweetened (with Demerara sugar) Jamaican coffee and oak to start, leaving an attractive malt-biscuit effect as it dies down.
