Oban Aged 10 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 2022 Special Release (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 57.1% Age: 10 Years Old Country: Scotland
Oban was just a small fishing village when the brothers Stevenson, who had had a hand in the building of Tobermory on Mull, founded the distillery on the site of a former brewery and then set about expanding Oban by establishing a tannery, a boating yard and other house building schemes. The distillery, founded in 1794 predates the town. The town literally grew around the distillery, hemming it in and making any future expansion plans obsolete. Hence, the distillery is fairly small (in the Diageo group it’s the second smallest, the second most frequented, the fifth best selling single malt and their best selling malt in U.S.A. ). With such small production all of the make is destined for single malt bottling.
Released as part of Diageo’s Special Release 2022 series this whisky was matured in refill and new American Oak and then it gets a double maturation in ex-Sherry and Amontillado seasoned casks. Bottled at 57.1% Alc/vol with no chillfiltration or added colour.
The bottle itself is named ‘The Celestial Blaze’, a reference to the lights of the Aurora Borealis that can be seen from Oban Bay, and how legend had it that the vivid blaze of light was driven by a celestial being.
