- Description
- Oban's 1994 bicentenary bottling is a rare managers' dram released at natural cask strength of 64% from sherry maturation. The Highland distillery's maritime character—briny, slightly smoky—mingles with rich sherry influence, creating an oily, viscous texture and a finish marked by dried fruit and sea salt. This bottling documents a specific moment when UDV honoured the distillery's 200th anniversary with an exceptionally powerful expression. Essential for Oban devotees and those seeking sherried Highland whisky at its most uncompromising.
