Introducing the Oban 2006 The Distillers Edition Montilla Fino Cask Finish OD 169.FF, a sublime Highland single malt whisky. This exquisite 14-year-old whisky, distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2020 at 43% ABV, is an exceptional creation from the renowned Oban distillery. The maturation process begins in traditional oak casks and concludes with a final flourish in Montilla Fino sherry casks, infusing the whisky with a unique Spanish influence that the founders of Oban would have undoubtedly appreciated. On the nose, this whisky greets you with a symphony of aromas including ripe plums, peaches, cherries, and a hint of mineral peat, followed by an abundance of raisins and subtle white chocolate. The alcohol is so well-integrated that you can savor these scents without a harsh bite. As it opens up, delicate and elegant smoky notes emerge, making the experience even more enchanting. Adding a splash of water deepens the aroma into darker notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and cereal. The palate is a delightful journey, beginning with fresh and almost mentholated sensations, coupled with fruity and spicy undertones. Although the peat is subtle, the sweetness is just hinted at, making the whisky incredibly balanced. With a touch of water, the profile becomes even fresher and more balsamic, transforming the sweetness into icing sugar and revealing alpine herbs. The finish is long, fresh, and mentholated, with lingering hints of spice that make each sip a lasting pleasure. Each Oban Distillers Edition expression undergoes a meticulous double maturation in casks that previously held fortified wine, achieving a complexity and depth that sets it apart. This particular edition showcases the harmonious marriage of Oban's robust malt with the sophisticated influence of Montilla Fino, crafting a seriously complex whisky of the highest order.
This whisky offers a multifaceted taste profile, blending sweet, salty, smoky, and nutty notes with hints of citrus and biscuit.
The Montilla Fino cask imparts a unique Spanish influence, adding layers of complexity with sherry-like nuances, enhancing the whisky's depth and richness.
Enjoy it neat to fully appreciate its complexity, or add a few drops of water to reveal deeper, darker flavors such as dark chocolate and tobacco.
The Oban 2006 The Distillers Edition Montilla Fino Cask Finish is a truly exquisite Highland single malt. Its complex aroma, layered palate, and enduring finish make it a standout in the world of whisky. The Spanish influence from the Montilla Fino cask adds an extra dimension, making it a delightful and intriguing experience for any whisky enthusiast.
