Oban 10 Year Special Release 2024
$179.99
Oban has long been one of the most recognizable yet underrepresented distilleries in Scotland. The distillate is ridiculously good, but the range of available expressions has been severely lacking. And indie versions? Fuhgeddaboudid. Needless to say, this is high on our list of things marked as 'must try.'
Producer Note
"Like the tiniest of seeds, Oban Distillery is one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries whose illustrious whiskies thrive with imposing character. This 10-year-old expression is matured in refill casks, before being selectively finished in newly charred American Oak barrels, freshly seasoned with Oloroso sherry, imparting baked apple notes and subtle wisps of sea salted vanilla. Charred oak heightens an enchanting fragrance: a bouquet of spiced nutmeg, sweet cinnamon and hints of clove. Verdant, lush and gorgeously aromatic, Oban Distillery is the lively heart of its coastal town home. Experience its blossom in full bloom."

Talisker 8 Year Special Release 2024
$121.99
"Finished in stone-spun and lightly re-toasted casks." What does that even mean? To say we're curious doesn't even begin to cover it.
Producer Note
"For this 8-year-old expression, plunge into oceanic wilderness. A world of flavour lies beneath that signature maritime smoke. Experience the underlying notes unleashed by stone-spun casks. Like a tidal churn, the barrels’ original char layers are polished away by rocks and water, then lightly re-toasted, allowing fruity and vanilla characters to rise up freely. Selected from whiskies of rumbling smoke, underlying flavours pierce through. Waves of pear and apple emerge alongside blades of seaweed, pepper and spice."
