Oban 10 Year Old Special Release 2024 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Imagine the humblest of seeds taking root deep within a coastal bay. A magnificent sea-sprayed orchard blooms, born of a tiny shell. With every tide’s fall a harmonious burst of flora ripples with warm waves of nectar, bathing the coast in aromatic bounty. Like the tiniest of seeds, Oban Distillery is one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries whose illustrious whiskies thrive with imposing character.

This 10-year-old expression is matured in refill casks, before being selectively finished in newly charred American Oak barrels, freshly seasoned with Oloroso sherry, imparting baked apple notes and subtle wisps of sea salted vanilla. 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 town home. Experience its blossom in full bloom.
