OBAN 10 Year Old Sherry Cask Finish Special Releases 2022
Oban 10 Year Old Special Release 2022 – “The Celestial Blaze” is a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky from Diageo’s Special Releases 2022 (Elusive Expressions) collection. Crafted to spotlight Oban’s signature coastal Highland character, this bold release is elevated by a distinctive maturation journey—starting in refill and new American oak before a finish in Amontillado sherry casks that layers in nutty richness, spiced fruit, and a warming, peppery glow.
Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.1% ABV and non-chill filtered, The Celestial Blaze delivers a vivid contrast of sea-salt freshness and sherry-driven depth. Expect maritime notes and faint smoke up front, followed by waves of wine-poached stone fruit, plum and blackberry, caramel sweetness, and a signature chilli-tinged spice that builds across the palate. The mouthfeel is notably creamy and smooth, finishing long with lingering heat, salt, and sweet fruit.
For whisky buyers in Malaysia, this is a standout choice if you enjoy coastal single malts, sherry cask finishes, and high-strength limited releases—ideal for collectors, gifting, or a memorable dram to share.
