The Oban Bay Reserve "The Night's Watch" is a special release of Oban single malt inspired by the Game of Thrones television series. Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky embodies a dark and moody profile to represent The Night's Watch. Produced by Oban Distillery, it is located in a picturesque setting beneath a steep cliff that overlooks the bay, positioned at the frontier between the Highlands and the Islands. This location mirrors that of Castle Black, which stands between Westeros and the lands beyond The Wall.
The Night's Watch is a military order dedicated to holding The Wall, an immense fortification on the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms, defending the realms of men from the unknown threats beyond. The men of The Night's Watch wear only black and are known as black brothers.
This limited edition whisky is rich and mouth-coating, featuring cherry pie and candied orange peel on the palate, and a long, rich finish with crème caramel and charred oak aspects. The nose opens with straw and tangy cereal notes, which mellow to cocoa and cherry. This special release is presented in a matching tube with The Night's Watch vows printed on both the bottle and the tube and is signed by Game of Thrones star Rory McCann, who portrays the Hound. A framed photo showing him signing the bottles is also included.
