Remarks:
I like this Oban from its profile.
You have to let the dram breathe a bit though. Then he opens.

Overall I rate this Whisky 87/100 points

  • Nose: 87/100 points
    slightly alcohol, sweet, fruity, malty, herbs, plums, some fruit acid, leather.
    Opens up after a while and the slight alcoholic sting goes away. This intensifies the fruity aromas. Dried fruits join in

  • Taste: 88/100 points
    sweet and very fruity, mint, dried fruits, creamy oily. Nuts, herbs, some fruit acid, becoming tart, leather, dark chocolate

  • Finish: 86/100 points
    very sweet and fruity, oily, dried fruits, leather, dark chocolate, slightly tart
