Oban 11yo Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml Special Release 2023
Inspired by the merging rhythms at the beating heart of calypso, this lively Oban expression was finished in Caribbean pot still rum casks. The vibrant cask influence brings unexpected tropical notes of sugar cane and mango, building beautifully on Oban’s signature fusion of Highland and Island styles. A glint of gold suggests summer sun, while fresh sea-breeze aromas, bright citrus, tropical fruit, and a dry spiciness evoke the spirit of a lively carnival.
