Oban Distillers Edition is a refined and characterful expression that takes the classic coastal Highland style of Oban and elevates it through a finish in Montilla Fino sherry casks. This additional maturation adds layers of sweetness, nuttiness, and depth while preserving the distillery’s signature balance of maritime notes, soft fruit, and gentle smoke.

Bottled at 43% ABV, this expression offers a richer and more complex interpretation of Oban’s distinctive character. The influence of the Montilla Fino casks brings notes of dried fruit, warm spice, and a subtle sweetness that beautifully complements the distillery’s coastal profile.

A smooth, well-rounded, and highly approachable single malt, the Distillers Edition showcases Oban’s craftsmanship and its ability to deliver both power and elegance in perfect harmony. An excellent choice for those who appreciate a more complex and rewarding dram from this iconic West Highland distillery.
