Oban 15 year old Oloroso & Palo Cortado Cask Finished Cask Strength
Review
By David SavonaOban is one of the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland, located just 208 steps from the water in a western Scottish town that was named for the distillery that opened in 1794. Released this spring, this is a new take on Oban, aged in European and American oak, and finished for more than 4 years in oloroso and palo cortado sherry casks. That cask finishing lends so much alluring sweetness to this whisky. It lures you in with a nutty and sweet aroma, then reveals layers of chocolate, brown sugar, candied yams, and other sweets with complexity, balance, and elegance.

Why This Pairing Works
The maritime salinity and berry sweetness of this Highland malt harmonize beautifully with the Melanio's silky, sweet profile. Cedar and toast notes from the cigar complement the whiskey's orange rind brightness, while the cigar's coffee and caramel undertones deepen the sherry cask's brown sugar richness.
