It is from a refill European Oak which is rarely used at Oban giving it a unique maritime character. This special bottling comes from a team who won the highly competitive internal Manager Dram competition a record three times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy was this bottle chosen as part of the fourth release of Prima \u0026amp; Ultima?:\u003c\/strong\u003eÿÿThe very last 1996 Oban is highly unusual yet delicious with a firmer backbone than is usual for this distillery. Rarely seen at Oban, the refill European oak delivers a distinctively dry coastal slant to both aroma and taste and hosts a lively peppery spiciness. A first appearance for Oban to Prima \u0026amp; Ultima, this bottling comes at a time when the distillery had won the highly competitive Managers Dram competition a record three times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÿDr Emma Walker's (Master Blender) thoughts on this bottling:ÿ\u003c\/strong\u003e\"I find it uniquely maritime in character. The casks, rarely used at Oban, really influence the crisp, clean distillery style, producing a deep amber whisky.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÿ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oban","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":69412863082530,"sku":"0088076188990","price":1874.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0170\/7810\/files\/Diageo-Prima-Ultima-Oban-1996-Single-Malt-Whisky-7.png?v=1792946371","url":"https:\/\/shopzorvanta.shop\/products\/diageo-prima-ultima-oban-1996-single-malt-whisky-700ml","provider":"Maventra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
