Dive into a jubilant blend of cultures with Oban 11 Year Old Special Release 2023, bottled at cask strength and bursting with Caribbean soul. This unique Oban variety, finished in Caribbean Pot Still rum casks, channels the carnival spirit, igniting the senses with notes of sugar cane and ripe mango atop its classic Highland-Island fusion.
The vibrant combination evokes unexpected tropical notes of sugar cane and mango, which build on Oban’s own clever fusion of the Highland and Island styles. A glint of gold announces the summer sun while the fresh aroma of a sea breeze, backed by notes of citrus and enhanced by hints of tropical fruit and a dry spiciness, quickly brings the carnival closer. On the palate, an oil-smooth texture is accompanied by a joyously sweet, richly fruity and lightly salty taste that dances across the tongue, finishing with an insistently spicy beat.
