Oban 21 Year Old 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. With some of Scotland’s smallest stills, Oban can only produce 650,000 gallons of whisky a year.
In its 219-year history, Oban Distillery has created three limited-edition whiskies, the third of which is Oban 21-Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Oban 21 Year Old was bottled at cask strength after being aged for 21 years in rejuvenated American oak and second-fill ex-bodega casks as part of Diageo’s 2013 Special Release Whiskies. The whisky is copper-gold in color and smells of caramel, maple syrup, warm gingerbread, and spicy apples. On the tongue, the scent gives way to aromas of ginger, stewed pears, barley, and creamy vanilla. The finish is accentuated by lemon zest and salty tang.
