Oban 11 Year Old Special Release 2023

Vivid energy and a vibrant mix of Caribbean cultures collide in a roar of jubilation. Bright colours burst to the beat of steel drums. Celebrating the passionate soul of the Caribbean, spinning Soca dancers lift their faces to the tropical sun, exuberant and radiant in the exotic sea air. Inspired by merging of rhythms in the heart of calypso, our Malt Master finished this Oban expression in Caribbean Pot Still rum casks. The vibrant combination evokes unexpected tropical notes of sugar cane and mango, building on Oban’s own fusion of the Highland and Island styles. A glint of gold announces the summer sun while the fresh aroma of a sea breeze, backed by citrus and enhanced by hints of tropical fruit and a dry spiciness, brings the carnival closer. On the palate, an oil-smooth texture is accompanied by a sweet, richly fruity and lightly salty taste with a spicy beat.
