Product Description

Oban Distillers Edition 2001 / 2016 is a limited-edition release that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of one of Scotland’s most esteemed distilleries. This exceptional whisky is a refined expression of Oban's signature style, elevated by the additional influence of ageing in specially selected sherry casks. The result is a complex, fruity, and deeply rich whisky that offers a truly unique tasting experience.

On the nose, Oban Distillers Edition is fragrant with a combination of fruity sweetness, rich caramel, and a hint of sea salt, which characterises Oban's coastal location. On the palate, it is creamy and soft, with a delicate interplay of flavours, including light sea salt, peanut brittle, and dark caramel. As the whisky opens up, layers of rich fruit emerge, accompanied by a slight nuttiness and subtle spicy notes that deepen the overall complexity. The influence of the sherry casks adds an extra dimension of depth, with hints of dried fruit and a touch of oak.

This whisky is a perfect example of Oban's ability to balance the briny maritime qualities of the Highlands with the richness and complexity imparted by careful cask maturation. The 2001 / 2016 release is a celebration of Oban’s distinctive style—creamy, fruity, and wonderfully complex, with a long, smooth finish that lingers gently on the palate.

Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of water, Oban Distillers Edition is a whisky to savour slowly, allowing the intricate flavours to evolve and develop with each sip.

  • Distinctive Sherry Cask Influence: Aged in a combination of traditional oak and sherry casks, which imparts rich, fruity, and slightly spicy notes to the whisky.
