Oban Releases 15 Year Old Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish
Oban has announced the release of Oban 15 Year Old Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish – a limited edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky inspired by the flavors and traditions of southern Spain’s Andalusia region.
The 15 year old single malt was initially aged in European Oak Butts and American Oak Hogshead barrels, before being finished for over four years in Oloroso and Palo Cortado Sherry casks from Andalusia, Spain and bottled at a cask strength of 55.3% ABV.
Oban 15 Year Old Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish is described as having aromas of “dried raisin, orchard fruit, charred orange rind, and lemon peel.” The palate exhibits notes of “burnt sugar, cinder toffee, almond, vanilla, pepperiness, and European Oak spices.” It concludes with a finish of “long-lasting brown sugar and tannins.”
Oban 15 Year Old Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish is now available at select retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $150 for a 750 mL bottle.
