Oban Cask Strength 15 Year Sherry Finish bottle and tube

Oban Whisky announced the release of Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish – a limited-edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky. 

This new expression was aged in European Oak Butts and American Oak Hogshead Barrels before being finished in Oloroso and Palo Cortado Sherry Casks.  

This limited-edition bottle is a testament to the art of appreciation, and is available at select spirits retailers nationwide with a suggested retail price of $150 for 750mL. 

“After years of development and refinement, we are proud to welcome Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish,” said Dr. Stuart Morrison. “The whisky is born of deliberate care and the passion of Oban’s dedicated distillers.”

Tucked away in the West Highlands of Scotland, Oban Distillery has been producing whisky since 1794. Oban 15 Cask Strength Sherry Cask Finish was created by the distillery’s seven artisans, inspired by the flavors and traditions of southern Spain’s Andalusia region. 

Under the guidance of DIAGEO Master Blender Morrison, hand-selected casks were carefully finished for over four years in Oloroso and Palo Cortado Sherry Casks, resulting in a tasting experience that marries sweet dried fruits, citrus and Oban’s signature maritime salinity.

The Oban Distillery — one of the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland — has been making Single Malt Whisky since 1794. Located in the heart of the town that grew up around it, the distillery was founded by brothers Hugh & John Stevenson. Made by a small group of artisans, Oban is distilled in tiny lantern-shaped copper pot stills, which are among the smallest in Scotland. Situated on a little bay between the West Highlands and the Islands, a mild maritime climate with a background of heather and peat is echoed in the malt whisky produced there.
