Oban Distillery’s latest creation, the Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish, has arrived to the delight of whisky enthusiasts and connoisseurs. This exceptional limited-edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky celebrates the mastery of time-honored craftsmanship and the art of slow, patient aging. Carefully finished in luxurious Oloroso and Palo Cortado Sherry Casks, this bold new expression from Oban invites drinkers to pause, savor, and truly appreciate the whisky’s layered complexity.

Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish offers an exquisite aroma of dried raisins and orchard fruit, followed by charred orange rind and lemon peel. The palate unfolds rich notes of burnt sugar, cinder toffee, and a subtle touch of almonds, complemented by European Oak’s tannins, pepper, and spice. The result is a warm, lingering finish of brown sugar that perfectly echoes the whisky’s Highland heritage and maritime influence. Created under the expert guidance of DIAGEO Master Blender Dr. Stuart Morrison, Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish was carefully aged for over four years in specially selected sherry casks, infusing the whisky with the flavors and traditions of Spain’s Andalusia region.

Since 1794, Oban Distillery has been producing exceptional whisky from its tiny West Highlands location, where the sea air and rugged landscape shape every bottle. The distillery’s signature small lantern-shaped copper pot stills create a distinctively balanced, silky smooth whisky that pays homage to Oban’s rich history and dedication to quality.

Perfect for those who appreciate the finer details in life, Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish pairs effortlessly with aged meats, nutty cheeses, and briny olives—ideal for a leisurely evening or an elegant tasting session. This meticulously crafted whisky is a testament to Oban’s enduring commitment to excellence, inviting drinkers to experience the ultimate in flavor and tradition.

Priced at $150 for a 750mL bottle, Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish is available in select spirits retailers nationwide. Discover where to find this extraordinary whisky and embrace the art of appreciation by visiting Oban’s official website.
