Highland Single Malt Whisky Bottled By: Distillery 70cl / 43%
The 2022 release of the lovely Classic Malts Distillers Edition Oban, which is traditionally finished in Montilla Fino sherry casks before release.
The Oban Distillers Edition has been in the Classic Malts DE lineup since the first releases in the late 1990s and has always been popular, if a little underrated, perhaps because it's finished in Fino sherry rather than the more popular Oloroso or Pedro Ximenez styles. Nonetheless, this is a lovely dram from a distillery whose small size and importance to Diageo's blends preclude a broad range of official releases.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Appearance: Clear amber. Fine beading. Long thin legs.
Body: Medium.
Nose: Opens very fine, clean and sweet with hints of salty sea breeze and a light, grapey note from the dry Fino, then grows more pungent with time, to hint of smoke and spice.
Palate: Creamy smooth and sweet and gently grapey to start; then waves of malty flavour develop, all held together by a real backbone of sea salt and gentle white-pepper spiciness. Delicious and easy to drink.
Finish: Long, attractively sweet-smoky and clean, with appetising oak-spice. Drying, with an attractive, lightly peppery aftertaste.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
