Review & Tasting Notes
This is a pour that will make the trip to Europe worth the TSA shakedown. Everything you'd expect from a Highland Scotch, especially from Oban, and much more!
| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Color | Copper |
| Nose | Delightfully complex with crushed grapes, orange zest, salt, and smoke. Apple and citrus notes open with baking spice on the nose. Butterscotch and honey mead sweeten up the aroma |
| Palate | Soft malts, delicate fruits, and waves of brine. Full and rich. Fruit, Sea Salt, Honey. Toffee and caramel with a touch of white pepper |
| Finish | Notes of sweetened Jamaican coffee and oak wood. Maple and honey carry on through with a hint of tobacco and barrel char |
