Oban 18 Year Old – Limited Edition
“John and Hugh Stevenson established Oban distillery in 1794. Limited to 8,778 bottles, Oban 18 is from its famous “sma stills.” It is rich in maritime character, with waves of sweet smokiness rushing to shore above the faint salty undertow. The nose is clean and clear; oily, well structured to begin with, then reminiscent of a wet seaweed strewn beach, before developing more sweet fruit. Medium-bodied, the smooth textured palate is sharply fruity then sweeter than you expect, with buttery pastry and creamy vanilla custard. There’s lovely late smoke on the long, elegant and drying finish.”

The Last Drop, 1960 Vintage, 48 Year old
Notes from John Hansell of Malt Advocate: Last Drop: A 12 year old blended scotch whisky was created in 1972 consisting of 70 different malt whiskies and 12 grain whiskies. The blend was then placed in three sherry casks, where it was matured for the past 36 years (highly irregular, to say the least.) The quality of the sherry casks is quite evident, as is the whisky’s age. There’s substantial malt content here too. These three factors, along with the wide range of malt and grain whiskies, combine to create one of the
finest blended Scotch whiskies I have ever tasted. It’s dark, mysterious and enormously complex, with notes of molasses, fig cake, dried fruit, tobacco, dark chocolate, old pot still rum, and polished leather, finishing with lingering cinnamon and mint. There’s no sign of this whisky getting tired at all. I am pleased they bottled it at natural cask strength and didn’t water it down to 40% or 43% abv, which could have ruined it.
Rating = 95

Medium-soft in body, it is sweetly rich-textured, later drying on the palate. Flavours of sweet honey, citrus and spicy ginger develop to yield a light nuttiness on the lemony finish”.
