Oban Aged 11 Years ‘The Soul Of Calypso’ Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 2023 Special Release (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 58% Age: 11 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.
The Special Releases ‘Spirited Xchange 2023’ Single Malt Scotch Whisky Collection was created in collaboration with eight illustrators. United by their passion for exploration and discovery, the illustrators pay homage to their individual cultures through the intricate and captivating designs that adorn the packaging. Each illustration is unique and dedicated to the beloved distilleries and the stories of the spirit, creating a compelling storytelling moment that places the expression at the heart of the experience, bringing the brand to life.
Released as part of Diageo’s Special Release 2023 series this ‘Soul of Calypso’ whisky was finished in Caribbean pot still rum casks with a total maturation of 11 years before being bottled at 58% alc/vol.
