Oban 18 Year Old Limited Edition, Bottled 2008
The Tasting Notes
The nose is clean and clear; oily, well structured and sweet to begin with, then reminiscent of a wet, seaweed-strewn beach, before developing more sweet fruit.
Medium-bodied, the smooth-textured palate is sharply fruity, then sweeter than you expect, with buttery pastry ans creamy vanilla custard.
There's lovely late smoke on the long, elegant and drying finish.
Details
