- Description
- Oban's 2022 Special Release combines initial maturation in refill and new American oak with a double finish in ex-sherry and Amontillado casks, creating layered complexity from this West Highland distillery. The sherry and fortified wine influence adds rich dried fruit and warm spice to Oban's characteristic maritime character, while the American oak provides vanilla undertones. The interplay of cask types creates a balanced, full-bodied dram with notable depth. A sophisticated choice for those wanting Highland pedigree with elevated sherry influence.
