Oban 15 Year Single Malt Port Cask Finish

Experience a masterful collision of Scottish coastal heritage and Portuguese wine-making tradition with the Oban 15 Year Single Malt Port Cask Finish. As the highly anticipated second chapter in Oban's exclusive 15-year cask-finished series, this limited US-exclusive release takes the distillery's signature maritime character and elevates it with profound, fruit-forward depth. Presented in a beautifully illustrated collector's tube that depicts the historic Oban harbor, this expression is a sophisticated, must-have addition for any serious Scotch enthusiast shopping at Nestor Liquor.

To craft this unique Highland malt, the whisky spent its primary 15-year maturation in traditional American Oak Hogsheads before undergoing a secondary finish in carefully selected 100% American Oak Ruby Port casks. Bottled at a robust 104.2 Proof (52.1% ABV), the elevated strength acts as a powerful flavor enhancer. The result is an incredibly complex and layered dram where Oban's classic sea-salt freshness is beautifully intertwined with the luscious, red fruit sweetness of the fortified wine.
