Oban Scotch Whiskey 18 Years Old - Bold and complex. Quite syrupy at first, then drying, with elegant coating tannins rich in dark chocolate character. Less dense and fruitier with just a little water, which allows the classic Oban fruit, malt and maritime hints free reign until the balancing, drying spice returns. Filling and warming, with the comforting chewiness of rich fruit-bread and hints of orange zest and clove, before growing drier, still minty, with crisp green apple. Dense and coating, spicy too sweet, yet menthol- fresh. An immediate and assertive, complex and evocative nose, well balanced and well-structured throughout with layers of classic Oban fruit and malt, introduces an equally well balanced palate that starts richly coating then grows dryer and more cleansing, before a long and oaky finish. Product Description Knob Creek Straight Bourbon 750 ml Hennessy Very Special Cognac 750 ml Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey 750 ml Tanqueray London Dry.

Much later: traces of brine and smoke, a little menthol and pine resin. Behind, malty cereal notes are offset by aromatic orange. Then, lighter notes of an almondy fruit cake sit atop a denser layer of Christmas pudding. Warming and sweet: oily, waxy and nutty, balanced by delicate ripe orchard fruits. Nose immediate and confident rapidly gaining intensity. ![]() A combination of rich sweetness with a smoky dryness and appetising spice distinguishes this lovingly-matured Highland malt.
