Oban The Distillers Edition 2022

One of Scotland's smaller distilleries, Oban sits in the heart of the town of the same name, producing a cult, maritime spirit. The distillery is one of the oldest still active in Scotland, having been established in 1794. Oban is made using only the finest barley, malted to the distillery's own particular specification. Partly germinated barley is gently dried in a kiln where a light peat smoke gives the malt a distinctive character and taste. The result is the smoky, malty dryness in the flavor and finish of Oban.

Since 1997, the Distillers Editions have been an annual release of limited quantities, each very much true to its origins yet possessing a rich depth, complexity and nuance of flavor not found in the regular release. This excellent Oban variant has been firstly matured in Refill American and European Oak casks. With the second maturation finished in Montilla Fino-seasoned re-charred American Oak and heavily re-charred new AO ends.

To underline its sea-laced flavors, the Master Distiller of Oban has chosen Montilla Fino. This dry, delicate cask beautifully enhances the distinctively graceful style of Oban. Creamy-smooth marriage of grape, sea air and spiciness.
