"...about style and effect. And it pulls it off brilliantly." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible

All six of the 'Classic Malts' have released limited edition 'Distiller's editions', which are finished in special casks selected by the master distiller. The founders of Oban distillery were entrepreneurs who imported and exported goods for which they could sense a demand. They would have approved of the Spanish influence brought to bear in this secondary cask finish, in this case Fino Sherry. Broad and sweet opening sniffs reveal notes of bubble gum and vanilla. 2-3 minutes expands the aromatic range and ups the freshness with suggestions of salted rice crackers, cinnamon toast and prunes. Beautifully rounded featuring early apple tart and vanilla followed by pepper and delicate dried fig flavours. Light brine and vanilla aftertaste. Several twist and turns to this. A dessert style to accompany salted-caramel dark chocolate. 43% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... This isn't all about complexity and layering. It's about style and effect. And it pulls it off brilliantly. 90 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2017

Fragrant stone fruits fill the nose: sliced white peaches, canned peaches, and apricots. Stay awhile, and earthier notes of sweet peat, fresh flowers, and cedar plank emerge. The palate is smooth, and though it’s light there is an incredible creamy texture that’s furthered by candied orange, applesauce, and warm apple crisp. The finish has divine depth, and is rich with vanilla frozen custard and more of those initial stone fruit flavors. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com
