Oban 12 Year Old Diageo Special Release 2021

We feel ourselves getting a touch nostalgic with this number. This is an Oban 12 Year Old that bridges the Highland and Islay styles of single malt with elegance. This is full of Oban’s characteristics but coming from unique casks gives this single malt a flourish. Distilled in 2008, this spent its 12-year-long slumber in freshly charred American virgin oak casks. It is presented at a vigorous cask strength 56.2% abv. A bright, pale gold dram, this an expression that perfects the tightrope balancing act, that of pairing Oban’s easy-drinking style with a lovely touch of spice.
