Description

• This expression from Oban uses whisky matured in refill American oak hogsheads, European oak Sherry casks and refill casks with new ends for this expression before allowing the resultant single malt whisky to marry in small oak casks. On the nose it is oily, waxy and nutty, balanced by ripe orchard fruits. Notes of almond fruit cake on denser Christmas pudding, with cereal and orange behind. It finishes long. Quite syrupy at first, then drying, with elegant coating tannins rich in dark chocolate character.
