Oban Distillers Edition, 2022 Release

The Distillers Edition is a collection of master-craftsmanship. Each cask in the series is individually selected and perfectly matched to the character of each of the single malts refined here. The two-parted maturation process gives more depth and complexity, which is the idea behind the limited Distillers Edition: preserving the perfection of the single malts that have already been awarded for their outstanding flavours. The selected taste nuances are more strongly accentuated in a way that is not found in the regular bottlings, but with fully maintaining the original character of these fine single malts.

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.
