I've always liked the bottles from Oban. As a beginner single malt drinker, I started off with its easy 14 y.o and have remained a fan of the distillery.
The other evening at the store, I spied a new bottle of whisky they just brought in. I'm quite the sucker for packaging. It looked rather pretty. The tasting notes sounded okay. I'm usually fine with bottles from the Highlands. So I grabbed a bottle and hoped for the best.
The Oban 1992 Distillers Edition is a delightful bottle.
It is not particularly peaty. The sherry cask makes that dram very easy on the palate. It's rather sweet and full of hints of burnt nuts and heather. The finish is surprisingly rich and soft.
It's an enjoyable single malt. There're little touches of sea notes because of its geographical position and also influenced by its primary identity as a bottle from the Highlands.
