Oban Distillers Edition
Distilled in 2007, Oban Distillers Edition 2021 Single Malt Whisky is aged for 14 years in oak casks. During its beauty rest, the whisky is touched by its environment and geography — the warm, salty Gulf Stream and mild, temperate climate of Oban are reflected in the whisky. After its initial maturation, the whisky is finished in ex-Montilla Fino sherry casks. Bottled at 86 proof, it's a rich and explosive single malt with a balance of sweetness, fruit, and maritime notes.
