help Oban Distillers Edition FAQ
What makes Oban Distillers Edition different from Oban 14?
Oban Distillers Edition starts from Oban's coastal Highland style but gets an additional finish in Montilla Fino sherry casks. Oban 14 is the core age-stated expression, while the Distillers Edition is designed to add sweeter wine-cask notes.
Is Oban Distillers Edition smoky?
It has a gentle smoke rather than an Islay-style peat blast. Oban is often described as sitting between Highland richness and coastal brine, and the Distillers Edition keeps that citrus, malt, and light smoke profile.
Where is Oban whisky made?
Oban is made at Oban Distillery in the west coast town of Oban, Scotland. The distillery dates back to 1794 and is now part of Diageo's Classic Malts family.
Does Oban Distillers Edition have an age statement?
Modern Oban Distillers Edition releases usually carry a vintage-style distillation and bottling year rather than a large front-label age statement. The key production detail is the Montilla Fino cask finish, not a new still or a different distillery.
