Oban The Managers Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 9 Year Old · 2000 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold glow and a hint of mahogany, like sunset folded in oak.

Nose

Aromas of coastal brine and sun-warmed barley, mingled with zesty citrus and ripe orchard fruits. Sherry influence ripens into dried cherries and figs, crowned by cocoa, toasted almond, and oak. Spices—clove, nutmeg—linger with leather and a touch of gentle smoke, while the 58.7% ABV lends a bright, lasting vitality to the bouquet.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied on the palate, this sherry-kissed Oban coats the mouth with dark fruit—fig, raisin—alongside toffee and cocoa. Rich spice blooms—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—underpinned by coastal salt and light oak. Warm, silky, and persistent, with a long, satisfying finish.

Finish

Long, cask-strength finish delivering dark fruit, cocoa and caramel, woven with toasted oak. A subtle maritime whisper and ember-spice linger, fading to a warm, comforting glow.
