Oban Distillers Edition (2023 Release)

Vanilla on nose. Boozy atart w lots of oak and spice. Strong finish noozy, smoky.

The nose is rather subtle, with just hints of grain, honey, and fruit. The palette is equally subtle, featuring mainly char notes supported by caramel and cinnamon. The finish is wonderfully smooth, with woody and char notes. This scotch is really easy to drink.

The nose is subtle and hard to place, but reminds me of eggnog; baking spices like nutmeg and sort of creamy and sweet. The taste is grains, cinnamon, and some char.

No water required. Slight bite, but the flavor is delightfully subtle that ice/water would drown it.
