Oban 10 Years Special Release 2022 Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that bridges the gap between approachable elegance and serious whisky craftsmanship?

The Oban 10 Years Special Release 2022 represents a remarkable departure from standard expressions, showcasing what happens when traditional Highland distilling meets innovative cask finishing. This cask strength bottling delivers complexity that rivals expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt, while maintaining the coastal character that makes Oban legendary. Unlike typical 40% releases, this special edition commands attention with its bold approach to Highland whisky making, positioning itself alongside premium offerings such as The Dalmore 21 Years Highland Single Malt.

• Distillery: Oban – Founded 1794, Scotland’s smallest distillery
• Region: Highland – Maritime influence from Scotland’s western coast
• ABV: 57.1% – Natural cask strength intensity with remarkable smoothness
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Refill and new American Oak, finished in ex-Sherry and Amontillado casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals maritime salt crystals and sea air with overripe apples. Palate delivers creamy wine-fruit notes, sweet violet, and spiced plum balanced by chili heat. Finish alternates between citrus brightness and oak spice
• Best Served: Neat in a whisky glass, or with drops of water to unlock hidden complexity

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly impressive for its non-chill filtered authenticity and natural color presentation. The Amontillado cask finishing creates depth that distinguishes it from standard Highland releases.
