Oban 12 Year Old 2021 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky
100% barley that has been malted in accordance with the distillery’s precise criteria is used to make Oban Single Malt Whisky. The malted barley has a little smokey, malty flavor profile since it is partially germinated and then gently dried over a peat kiln. Following fermentation and mashing, the malted barley is twice-distilled using Oban’s lantern-shaped copper-pot stills. Because the stills are some of the smallest in Scotland, Oban can only produce 650,000 liters of whisky a year.
Through the use of legendary animals on the bottles, Diageo’s 2021 Special Releases Collection explores the subject of hidden stories within historic distilleries. This 12-year-old single malt Scotch whiskey from Oban was aged in refill and ex-bourbon casks before being distilled, matured, and bottled in Scotland. It is a multi-layered whisky with a light and dark side that is bottled at cask strength (112.4 percent). Maritime brine, oak spice, and a peppery finish balance the sweetness, citrus, and sweet chile on one side.

Concerning scotch Oban
John and Hugh Stevenson, who had learned the craft from their late father, obtained employment building and repairing boats at the city’s boatyard after relocating to the small port city of Oban (in northwest Scotland) with their widowed mother. The brothers quit their occupations building boats and established a brewery in the city in the 1790s. They transformed their brewery into one of Scotland’s oldest and most esteemed distilleries, Oban Distillery, in 1794.
The Stevenson family owned Oban Distillery for almost a hundred years. However, J. Walter Higgin bought the distillery in 1883 and started making improvements. To ensure that the distillery could continue to meet the unrelenting demand for its whisky, Higgin made piecemeal renovations to the structure and equipment. After Higgin’s renovation, Oban Distillery is essentially unchanged today, more than a century later.

Concerning Scotch
The most widely consumed whisky worldwide, Scotch is regarded as the best of all of them! Each of Scotland’s five whiskey regions—six if you include the unofficially recognized Islands—produces spirits with special qualities and distinctive flavors. (The type of scotch is determined by the type of grain used.)
Grain whisky employs other grains, such as corn or wheat, while malt whisky is manufactured from malted barley. A single distillery producing a single malt whisky produces an exceptional product known as a single malt, but most whiskies are blended from various distilleries, hence the term blended Oban scotch whisky.
