Oban – 10 Year Old (Special Release 2022)

From the Western Highlands of Scotland, Oban 10 Year Old offers a beautifully balanced character shaped by both American oak and European sherry wood influence. This expression, part of Diageo’s celebrated ‘Classic Malt’ series, initially matures in refill and new American oak before a double maturation in casks previously holding sherry and Amontillado. The result is a whisky brimming with notes of citrus fruit, sea salt, and a subtle sweetness, hinting at dried fruits and spice. ‘The Celestial Blaze’ release from 2022 showcases this spirit at cask strength, amplifying its complex and rewarding flavour profile.
