Oban 15 Year Old Port Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Exclusive Release)

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 52.1% ABV (104.2 Proof) | 750 mL | Scotland

Process & Profile

Oban 15 Year Old Port Cask Finish is a limited, exclusive release from one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, uniquely positioned between the Highlands and the Islands. This expression is aged for 15 years in American oak hogsheads before undergoing a finishing period in 100% American oak Port casks, adding depth and red-fruit richness to Oban’s signature coastal style.

The port cask finish enhances Oban’s natural maritime character, layering in fruit-forward sweetness and spice while preserving the distillery’s hallmark balance of malt, salinity, and subtle smoke. Bottled at a robust 104.2 proof, this release delivers amplified aroma, structure, and complexity compared to standard Oban expressions.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fruity white wine notes, ice cream cone, red berries, and a hint of sea breeze

• Palate: Juicy red fruit, raspberry, dark cherry, soft malt sweetness, and subtle pepper spice

• Finish: Medium-dry and lingering with balanced oak, fruit, and gentle coastal salinity

What Makes It Special

• Aged 15 years with a secondary maturation in Port casks

• Bottled at cask-strength-style proof (104.2) for enhanced depth

• Combines Oban’s maritime character with rich red fruit influence

• Exclusive, limited release distinct from the core Oban lineup

• Crafted at one of Scotland’s most historic distilleries

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass to fully explore its layered aroma and palate. A few drops of water can soften the proof and draw out additional fruit and spice notes. This whisky also shines as a slow, contemplative pour and makes an excellent centerpiece for tastings or special occasions.
