Oban The Distillers Edition is surprising at every stage of the tasting, characterized by a flavor that lies halfway between land and sea. These notes reflect the terroir where this malt originates: the Western Highlands. To highlight the iodine and sea breeze flavors during Oban’s second maturation, the master distiller chose Fino Montilla casks, which enhance the malt’s elegance with delicate woody notes.
The Oban distillery is located in the Western Highlands, facing the Isle of Mull. Its unique location and climate strongly influence the taste of this Scottish whisky. The barley is gently dried with peat, giving the whisky a malty aroma with a subtle smoky touch. It is twice distilled in small copper pot stills, then aged for 14 years in oak casks. Afterward, it spends six months maturing in Fino Montilla sherry casks, creating the version known as the “Distillers Edition.” This final step adds extra elegance with subtle woody aromas. On the nose, you’ll find fruity notes with a slight hint of iodine. On the palate, it is rich, complex, and full of flavor, finishing with a well-defined, spicy finish.

Nose : Remarkable. Fruity and sharp. Oban sea salt topped with crushed grapes, orange zest and a hint of smoke. Extraordinarily complex.
Palate : The most explosive that Oban has ever produced. A sweet malt note precedes a continuous influx of delicate yet intense fruity notes on a rising tide of brine.
Finish : Notes of sweet Jamaican coffee and oak, complemented by a seductive malt biscuit high as she fades.

THE BRAND
Oban and its a perfectly sheltered port, are the capital of the West Highlands but also the natural link between the mainland and the islands. Founded in 1794, the Oban distillery was built by the Stevenson brothers and redeveloped in the 1890s, it remains one of the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland. Due to the cramped space available between the cliffs and the sea, the active little town of Oban has remained nestled around its distillery. This natural limitation to its expansion explains why the distillery has always struggled to meet ever-increasing demand.
Founded in 1794, Oban is one of Scotland’s oldest active distilleries, nestled between the sea and the Highlands in the west coast harbor town of the same name. Oban whiskies are known for their maritime character, gentle peat smoke, and rich fruitiness – a true bridge between coastal and Highland styles.
