Oban 15 Year Oloroso & Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Finish Scotch Whisky

Oban 15 Year Sherry Cask Finish hails from the rugged coastal town of Oban, where the distillery has stood for over two centuries, capturing the essence of its maritime surroundings. Aged for 15 years, this single malt undergoes its final maturation in ex-Oloroso and Palo Cortado sherry casks from Andalusia, imparting depth and complexity to its character. The influence of these casks enhances the whisky’s natural coastal salinity, intertwining it with rich, sun-soaked flavors from southern Spain.  

The first sip reveals a luxurious balance of dried fruits, dark caramel, and charred citrus, complemented by waves of sea breeze and toasted oak. Layers of nutmeg and cinnamon emerge alongside hints of roasted almond and dark chocolate, all carried by the smooth, warming embrace of sherry-aged richness. The finish is long and velvety, leaving traces of spice, sweet tobacco, and a subtle wisp of smoke.  

Bottled at natural cask strength, this Oban expression is best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full intensity, or with a few drops of water to unlock its hidden depths. Whether sipped slowly by the fireside or shared in good company, this whisky invites you to explore its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship with every pour.
