The Oban 10 Year Old Special Release 2022, titled “The Celestial Blaze”, is a limited-edition Highland single malt Scotch whisky from Diageo’s annual Special Releases collection. This expression showcases Oban’s coastal character, enhanced by a distinctive cask maturation process.
Nose:
The aroma is gentle, featuring maritime hints of salt crystals, edible seaweed, and fresh sea air. A very faint smokiness emerges, infused with suggestions of lint, light olive oil, and a light note of lemon citrus fruit.
Palate:
The palate offers a soft and creamy-smooth texture, with bright flavors of wine-fruit notes carrying hints of sweet violet and spiced plum. The fruitiness is balanced by a lively spiciness, initially presenting as saltiness mid-palate, then transitioning into a blazing dash of chili pepper.
Finish:
The finish is quite long and surprisingly peppery, leaving a smooth memory of chili pepper in the maritime aftertaste.
