Oban 2007 Distillers Edition Single Malt Whisky

The Oban 2007 Distillers Edition is a magnificent marriage of coastal influence and sherry-cask depth, embodying the unique charm of this iconic Highland distillery. Known for its distinctive balance of maritime notes and a subtle smoky edge, Oban’s timeless character is elevated in this Distillers Edition through a meticulous Montilla Fino sherry cask finish. This 2007 vintage is a must-have for those who appreciate a dram with both elegance and complexity.

Situated in the picturesque harbour town of Oban, the distillery captures the spirit of its coastal surroundings, delivering a whisky that reflects both Highland and maritime traditions. After its initial aging in American oak barrels, this expression undergoes a secondary maturation in Montilla Fino sherry casks, imparting a refined dryness and a nuanced layer of flavour that complements Oban’s signature style.

The nose greets you with a captivating bouquet of green apples, citrus zest, and sea-salted caramel, intertwined with delicate hints of toasted almonds and subtle smoke. On the palate, expect a silky texture and a beautifully balanced profile. Notes of honeyed malt, dried apricots, and spiced pears harmonize with a briny undertone and a whisper of smoke. The Fino sherry influence reveals itself in the form of nutty dryness and a faint mineral quality, adding depth and intrigue.

The finish is long and satisfying, leaving behind traces of orange peel, soft oak, and a gentle smokiness reminiscent of a fading seaside bonfire. Bottled at 43% ABV, Oban 2007 Distillers Edition delivers a polished and rewarding experience, perfect for savoring on special occasions or sharing with fellow whisky enthusiasts.

This expression is a shining testament to Oban’s ability to craft whiskies that honor tradition while exploring new horizons. The Oban 2007 Distillers Edition offers a sophisticated journey through flavour—one sip, and you’ll find yourself transported to the rugged, sea-swept shores of its birthplace.
