The Oban 2003 The Distillers Edition is a distinguished single malt that hails from the Oban Distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. Bottled in 2017 after 15 years of meticulous maturation, this whisky is finished in Montilla Fino sherry casks, imparting a refined and sophisticated character. At 43% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this expression offers a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas that captivate the senses. On the nose, this whisky presents a complex bouquet of fruity and sweet notes with a slightly salty hint, including juicy orange, lemon, and mango, complemented by apple, marzipan, and a touch of chocolate. Sour white wine notes, a pinch of pepper, and subtle alcohol add further depth to the aromatic profile. The taste begins with a smooth, slightly salty and sweet honey introduction, evolving into nuttier flavors alongside lemon, apple, marzipan, and orange. The peppery spice moves in, accompanied by moist sand and mineral undertones, with a faint trace of smoke. The finish is medium in length, with a slightly oily texture and nutty bitterness, balanced by sour white wine notes, oak spiciness, and a hint of roasted aromas. A subtle sweetness lingers throughout, making this an excellent choice for those seeking a well-rounded and complex whisky. In the Distiller's Edition series, the Oban 2003 stands out as a sophisticated and special expression, offering a delightful balance of tropical fruit, spice, and peaty characteristics. It is a perfect after-dinner dram, gentle yet full, creamy instead of dry, with warm fruity caramel notes swirling on the palate.
