Oban Aged 15 Years Port Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Deeply maritime, richly layered, and crafted to celebrate the historic connection between Scotland and Portugal, Oban Aged 15 Years Port Cask Finish is a limited-edition Highland single malt that combines the distillery's signature coastal character with the vibrant influence of Ruby Port casks. Bottled at a robust 52.1% ABV, this special release is the second expression in Oban's exclusive 15-Year-Old cask-finished series, offering a distinctive balance of red fruit richness, gentle salinity, and warming spice.

Process & Profile

Produced at the historic Oban Distillery on Scotland's west coast, this limited-edition single malt was matured for 15 years in American Oak Hogshead casks before receiving a finishing period in carefully selected 100% American Oak Ruby Port casks sourced from Porto, Portugal. The finishing process was inspired by the centuries-old maritime trade connection between the harbor towns of Oban and Porto, both shaped by the sea and their respective spirits traditions.

The Port casks introduce vibrant red fruit notes and subtle sweetness while complementing Oban's hallmark coastal character and gentle maritime salinity.

Appearance
