Oban Cask Strength 15 Year Scotch Whisky 750ml

Oban Cask Strength Aged 15 Years is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky that showcases the house style with depth and character. Matured for a full 15 years, it benefits from a nuanced finish that lasts 4 years in ex-Oloroso and Palo Cortado sherry casks, enriching the profile with both classic Highland warmth and sherry-influenced complexity. On the nose, it presents a inviting bouquet of vanilla sweetness blended with brown sugar and a touch of peppery spice, complemented by subtle maritime hints that recall its coastal origins.

The palate unfolds with a robust, full-bodied craft that remains remarkably balanced for a cask-strength expression. Rich vanilla and brown sugar provide a sweet foundation, while layers of pepper, clove, and cinnamon introduce an aromatic spice that evolves with every sip. The influence of the sherry casks adds depth and fruit-forward complexity, yielding dried fruit notes and a soft, luscious character that sits alongside the whisky’s natural coastal solidity. Hints of sea salt contribute a faint mineral edge, reinforcing Oban’s seaside terroir.

As the whisky breathes, a raisin sweetness emerges, accompanied by citrus oils and charred orange zest, which lend both brightness and a touch of smoky richness. The finish is lingering and profound, carrying the warmth of the alcohol in harmony with the oak-derived flavors. Oban Cask Strength Aged 15 Years is a bold choice for those who appreciate a mature, nuanced single malt with sherried complexity, well-suited for relaxed tasting sessions or special occasions where a memorable, multi-layered dram is desired.
