Description

Captured in a bottle is the celestial magic of Oban, a distillery steeped in legend and illuminated by the ethereal glow of the Aurora Borealis. Established in 1794, this small yet mythical distillery has been crafting whisky that's as vibrant as the skies above it. Oban 10yo Special Release is a celestial dance of flavours, matured initially in both refill and new American Oak casks, and then given a second maturation in ex-Sherry & Amontillado seasoned casks. On the nose, you'll find a gentle waft of maritime salt mingled with the freshness of sea air. The first sip reveals a creamy texture, bursting with the rich sweetness of wine-soaked spiced plum. This is beautifully balanced by a lively kick of salt and spice, culminating in a finish that tingles with a touch of chilli pepper. Light smoke and salt twinkle through its rich, sticky sweetness, making this Oban release a whisky of truly super-natural character.
