Product details
The Oban Natural Cask Strength Special Release 2024 10-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterful expression of tradition and innovation. This limited-edition whisky is aged for a decade, beginning its journey in refill casks before a selective finish in newly charred American Oak barrels, freshly seasoned with Oloroso sherry. This careful maturation imparts a symphony of flavors, from baked apple and sea-salted vanilla to subtle notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, all heightened by the charred oak's influence. With a proof of 116, this single malt showcases Oban's maritime heritage, offering a nose that vividly evokes fresh sea air, crystal salt, and edible seaweed, seamlessly transitioning into light oak, vanilla, and the fruity essence of a Sicilian lemon grove.
On the palate, the whisky reveals a luxuriously thick and creamy texture that envelops the senses with a balanced interplay of sweetness and spice. Notes of orange, lemon, creamy vanilla, and seaside salt are delicately accented by a gentle peppery, oaky spice, creating a round and satisfying profile. A dash of water softens the edges, enhancing the harmony without altering the flavors. The medium-bodied finish lingers with warm, smooth spice, leaving a drying yet inviting aftertaste. Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a bold yet refined Scotch, this Oban release is an unforgettable exploration of craftsmanship and coastal character.
