I believe this is my third or fourth time tasting a different Oban expression, and i still can decide if i like their offerings or not. This is actually not a whisky that i will remember, i really did not like it much and i believe Little Bay was good and maybe the standard 14yo was also decent, but definitively this distillery is not on my top of mind. This Destiller's edition is also a 14yo (2004 -2018) expression, double matured, first in ex bourbon casks, then in Montilla Fino casks. Bottled at 43%abv, Tawny color. On the nose is nice, with dehydrated oranges (turkish delight), pecans, an artificial sugary orange, lots of salt. A little floral, perfumed. Flan caramel, lemon appears after a while. After a couple of minutes, some thick, nice orange marmalade appears. Very similar on the nose to some other amontillado sherry expressions, like Glenmorangie Tayne. Maybe some coffee somewhere. On the palate, it starts falling apart. Orange, ginger, salt. Some fresh notes, orange peel. That's it. Aftertaste, new wood, sawdust; ginger. Very mineral, mostly salty and "rocky". Overall, for a Distiller's edition, this is too simple, difficult to enjoy due to disonant flavors, not the best dram. If you have a double matured dram, you expect to add flavors to a base, not mix them strangely. My score for it is 74 over 100. Sad.
