Oban Single Malt Scotch 11 Year is an award-winning 11-year-old single malt scotch. Aging in oak barrels for 11 years allows the whisky to develop subtle and delicate flavors and aromas, creating a rich complexity. Enjoy notes of honey and peat, rounded out by a long and sweet finish.
Nose: Quite spirity at first with some indistinct rum notes (aniseed, diesel) the only things that really register. No sign of the whisky on the second, third or fourth sniffs either. After a lot of airing some recognizable Oban character begins to peep out eventually (brine, paper) but the rum still dominates. A few drops of water push the rum back a fair bit and pull out softer notes of cream, citrus and very light toffee.
Palate: A bit of an indistinct rum jumble here too, Iām afraid. Hot at full strength; decent texture. Continues in this vein, getting sweeter (more floral) but no more interesting as it goes. Okay, letās see if water makes it more interesting. Yes, as on the nose, it pushes the rum back; the citrus (between orange and lemon) is more custardy here.
Finish: Long. All those rum notes continue. Some vegetal bitterness with time. As on the palate with water.
