Oban Distillers Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

Oban Distillers Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a refined, double-matured expression from one of Scotland’s most historic distilleries. Established in 1794, Oban remains one of the smallest yet most distinctive distilleries in the Highlands, producing whisky that balances the richness of the Highlands with the briny, maritime influence of Scotland’s western coast. The Distillers Edition showcases this unique character through an additional layer of complexity created by secondary maturation in Montilla Fino sherry casks.

The whisky begins its life as classic Oban, defined by its malty core, gentle smoke, and coastal freshness. After years of maturation in traditional oak, it undergoes a second aging in sherry casks sourced from Spain, which infuse the spirit with added richness and depth. This double maturation enhances the whisky’s natural flavors, weaving in notes of dried fruit, honeyed sweetness, nutty undertones, and a delicate sherry warmth that complements rather than overwhelms Oban’s signature maritime style. The result is a whisky that is both powerful and graceful, offering remarkable balance and length.

Presentation underscores its premium status. Each release is vintage-dated, highlighting the year of distillation and bottling, which allows enthusiasts to explore subtle variations across different editions. Bottled at 43% ABV, the Distillers Edition maintains its elegance and approachability while delivering an elevated tasting experience.

For collectors and enthusiasts, Oban Distillers Edition represents a rare chance to experience a new dimension of one of Scotland’s most beloved distilleries. By marrying Highland richness with coastal freshness and sherry cask depth, it offers a layered, sophisticated single malt that stands apart in Oban’s portfolio. Limited, vintage-specific, and steeped in tradition, this whisky is both a celebration of heritage and a showcase of craftsmanship.

Taste Notes & Food Pairings

Taste Notes Oban Distillers Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a sophisticated and layered expression, finished in specially selected casks to enhance its depth and richness. The palate opens with sweet malt and gentle honey, complemented by soft citrus, lightly toasted oak, and subtle coastal salinity. Nuances of dried fruits, vanilla, and a touch of baking spices develop mid-palate, leading to a long, smooth, and warming finish where sweetness, oak, and subtle smoke meld elegantly. Its texture is silky and rounded, offering both refinement and approachable complexity.

Food Pairings This whisky pairs beautifully with roasted or braised poultry such as honey-glazed chicken or roast duck, where its malt and honeyed notes enhance savory flavors. It complements semi-soft or aged cheeses like Comté, Gouda, or Manchego, and desserts featuring caramel, nuts, or dried fruits—pear tart, almond cake, or spiced fig compote resonate with its layered sweetness and subtle spice. Roasted nuts, lightly spiced baked apples, or citrus-glazed vegetables also harmonize with its smooth, complex profile and long, warming finish.
