OBAN Single Malt Scotch Exclusive release 15 Years 104.2proof 750mL

Since 1794, the Oban distillery has been producing single malt Scotch from the craggy shores of western Scotland  — and this latest exclusive release is among its most exciting yet. The Oban 15 Port Cask Finish spent 15 years maturing in American Oak Hogshead barrels before moving into a finishing period in 100% ex-American Oak Ruby Port casks sourced directly from Porto, Portugal.

The choice to use Ruby Port casks specifically — rather than Tawny or vintage — is meaningful. Ruby Port casks are known for retaining more of that vivid red fruit character, and that fruit-forward quality shows up clearly in the finished whisky.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Dry and mellow, with notes of white wine, raspberries, and vanilla ice cream alongside Oban’s signature maritime freshness — sea breeze and warm sand.
• Palate: Juicy raspberry, dark cherry, soft malt sweetness, and subtle pepper spice.
• Finish: Medium-dry and lingering with balanced oak, fruit, and gentle coastal salinity.
