Oban 10 Year Old – Special Release 2024
Region: Highland
Charred oak heightens an enchanting fragrance: a bouquet of spiced nutmeg, sweet cinnamon and hints of clove. Verdant, lush and gorgeously aromatic, Oban distillery is the lively heart of its coastal townhome. Experience its blossom in full bloom.
Nose: Fresh and ‘maritime’ with hints of clean sea air, crystal salt and edible seaweed. Light oak and vanilla notes, then a hint of dried mixed herbs mingling with sherried, light fruity notes, Sicilian lemon and a faint thread of smoke at the base, which becomes oilier if water is added.
Palate: An appealingly thick and creamy-smooth texture introduces a roundly fruity and sweet taste, with hints of orange and lemon, a touch of creamy vanilla, a pinch of sea-side salt and a whisper of gently peppery, oaky spice. A dash of water gently rounds these tastes without altering them.
Finish: Of medium length, ending in that smooth, warm spice. It is still spicy with a dash of water, which introduces more spice and dries the aftertaste.
