The result is a creamy, fruity whisky with hints of smoke and a salty sea breeze.
Its seaside maturation imparts a slightly maritime savoriness. It’s only lightly peated, and it undergoes an exceptionally long fermentation. Oban whisky is very different from many of its West Highland kin. Once a quaint fishing village on the shores of the Sound of Kerrera, the distillery has found itself in the center of a bustling town and resort community that has grown up around it. Oban is one of the few urban distilleries left in Scotland. Light floral with dark fruit in the nose followed by a well layered oily presence on the palate with dark sugar on the edges and a full-bodied finish. The official tasting notes of the judging panel described the whisky as having:Ī dark amber hue signaling its years in the cask. This is a superb whisky that combines notes of chocolate, dried fruit, candied citrus peel and bread pudding notes into a layered, complex, absolutely stunning whisky at a very affordable price. The whisky does not carry an age statement, but it includes whiskies up to 40 years old in the blend. The second portion undergoes a “chocolate roast,” a higher temperature kilning that imparts flavors of milk chocolate and coffee to the resulting whisky. One portion is a single farm grown barley from Glenmorangie’s Cadboll estate. Signet is produced from two different types of malted barley. This is one of the core expressions in the Glenmorangie range. Glenmorangie Signet, NAS, 46% ABV, 750 ml, $250 Glenmorangie Signet, Single malt Scotch Whisky Photo, courtesy Glenmorangie
