Oban Distillers Edition 2011

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 92 Points

This year’s release was finished in Montilla Fino sherry casks, and the nose is briny with toasted oak, vanilla, raisins, figs, and a touch of nutmeg. The taste has notes of sea salt, tropical fruits, coconut, and a hint of smoked salmon. The finish is salty and long with a good balance of mango, pineapple, and a hint of nutmeg. Excellent.
