The Oban distillery has a full and ancient history. Founded in 1793 in the Scottish west port town of Oban, the small, yet much-admired distillery has long been associated with quality Highland scotch whisky. The Oban Distillers Edition is a fine example of this style. With only two pot stills, the Oban distillery has, through the ages, perfected a West Highland flavour that sits nicely between the more smoky styles of the Scottish Islands and the lighter malts produced elsewhere in the Highlands. The Oban Distillers Edition is characterised through the Montilla Fino cask wood finish used in the making of this seriously excellent whisky. For lovers of fine whisky, the Edition is one for you.

NOSE Outstanding. Fruity and pungent; sea salt with crushed grapes, orange zest and hints of smoke. Massively complex.
BODY Full, rich.
PALATE Most explosive Oban ever. Soft malt then wave upon wave of delicate yet rich fruit notes on a tide of brine.
FINISH Sweetened Jamaican coffee and oak, with an attractive malt-biscuit effect as it dies
