Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 398: Oban 2005 Distillers Edition

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a malt from Oban, which is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, founded in 1794, but also one of the smallest with an output of a mere 650,000 litres per year. This has everything to do with the location of course, which makes that there is no room for expansion. This also means that there is a very limited core range: the classic 14 years old, the NAS expression Little Bay that was launched in 2015 and this Distillers Edition. For Oban it means that the second maturation took place on Montilla Fino sherry casks. This one is distilled in 2005 and bottled in 2019.
