Oban Highland Single Malt Scotch The Distillers Edition Double Matured In Montilla Fino Seasoned American Oak Casks 750ml

Manufacturer's Notes: Along the shores of Lorn lies a record of man far more ancient than that of any city in the land. The first settlers arrived on the mainland in 5,000 B.C. and sheltered in the natural caves of the land then knwon as 'an OB', the 'Distillery Cave' was one such shelter hidden in the Creg A'Bharrain cliffs which rise dramatically above the 'Oban Distillery.'

The western highland style of Oban Single Malt is epitomised by its gentle sweetness and surprising richness of palate and finish. The peatiness of the islands it faces, across the Firth and Lorn, is softened by the influences of the highlands at its back.

The Distiller's Edition brings new dimensions of taste exploration to the enjoyment of this Single Malt Whisky. The Master Distiller selects a small number of casks for double maturing in Montilla fino Seasoned American Oak, which is chosen to complement the unique character of the Malt Whisky. The marriage of casks and whisky has always been a traditional tool of the distillers craft to bring a new depth and complexity to great Malt whiskies.

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.

The whisky beautifully balances smooth creaminess with hints of salty sea breeze. Notes of grape from the dry Montilla Fino grow with time into waves of malt and white pepper, finishing with a beautifully long sweet smoke in the classic Oban style. A stunningly smooth marriage of hints of grape, sea air and spice.
