Special Release 12y

About

Oban 12 Years Special Release is a distinguished single malt whisky from the Oban distillery, nestled on the rugged coastline of Scotland's Highlands. This expression, part of the Special Releases 2021, embodies the distillery's rich heritage and unique position between the Highlands and the Islands, offering a truly remarkable tasting experience. On the nose, it presents a bouquet of fresh flowers and tropical fruits, complemented by notes of vanilla and caramel. The palate reveals a harmonious blend of dried fruits, citrus, and a hint of briny seaweed, interspersed with spicy ginger and pepper. Aged in carefully selected casks, the whisky gains complexity from sherried influences and a subtle smokiness, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. The bottle features an artistic representation of two foxes, symbolizing balance and the untold legends of Oban's storied past.
