Tasting Notes

Nose

Sea spray, orange peel, honey, vanilla cream, tangerine, apricot jam, hints of smoke and campfire — coastal and warm

Palate

Salted caramel, dried fruit, brine, butterscotch, raisin, cinnamon, a slightly meaty quality with fresh citrus juice — the Montilla Fino adding depth

Finish

Long and sweet — black pepper heat, lingering dark fruit, the rare dry sherry finish distinguishing it from PX-finished releases

Expert Review

8/10

One of the best value Distillers Edition releases in Diageo's Classic Malts range. Double matured with a Montilla Fino sherry cask finish — a rare dry Spanish sherry that adds dark fruit sweetness without overwhelming Oban's signature coastal character. From one of Scotland's oldest distilleries (1794), using just two stills — one of Diageo's most constrained operations.
