This 2025 Special Release of Oban is a 12 year old bottled at 54.7% after maturing in ex-Bourbon casks.
Producer Description
"The comfort of home draws you back, like a warm welcome after a long journey. Like the highland gull that flies far but always returns. This is the taste of coming home. Maturation in ex-bourbon casks makes for an expression that is deeply warm, sweet and rich in character."
750ml ml Low StockProducer Tasting Note
"Visit the sweeter depths of coastal memories. Discover delicious notes of sweet home baking and salty sea air. The American oak enriches a fresh, fruity house style with the taste of tinned syrupy peaches and warm spices. Honeyed flavour notes marry with signature maritime character for a taste that brings the heart and soul of a harbour we call home."

This 8 year old rye whisky from the Teaninich Distillery could be the most interesting Special Release Diageo has put out in years. As their is no classification for single malt rye, it is a grain whisky, distilled from rye in pot stills at a malt distillery. Confused, don't worry about it. Bottled at 60.3% after maturing in ex-Bourbon casks.
Producer Description
"From a bold 2016 rye experiment using Teaninich Distillery’s rare mash filter, we bring a standout Scotch. Malted rye and barley are mashed together for a distillation matured in ex-bourbon casks. This bold deviation yields flavours rich in subversive spicy toffee sweetness, and thick with deep aromas of cinnamon and clove. A marvellous atypical taste, that proves fortune favours the brave."

Oban's first no age statement release impressed us a lot more than we feared it would. Maturing stocks of Oban have been finished in small casks to speed up the maturation process, likely in a similar manner to Laprhroaig's Quarter cask.
Producer’s Tasting Note: “A dense and coating mouth feel- sometimes sugary and slightly minty- with a warming, comforting sweet chewiness of a richly fruited malt loaf. Occasional hints of orange zest and clove, before growing drier, again slightly minty, with hints of green apple.”
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: very fruity, Jujubes, and Wine Gums, a touch of salt and faint clean smoke; some caramel and spice with soft toasty oak.
Palate: more smooth caramel, lots of toasty, grainy oak, with salt and more clean smoke; the Wine Gums and Jujubes are there with big spices and chewy malt.
Finish: long with salt, smoke and malt.
Comment: much more satisfying and interesting than expected.
