Following distillation, Oban Limited Edition 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged for 18 years in oak casks. During this beautyrest, the whisky is touched by its unique environment and geography — the warm, salty Gulf Stream and mild, temperate climate of Oban are reflected in the whisky. As a result of the distillery's unique stills and geography, the whisky has an aroma of citrus fruit, crisp sea breeze and salty tang that give way to notes of dried spices, seaweed and oak on the palate. The finish is soft and elegant, with touches of smoke and fruit set against a slightly oily background.

Oban Limited Edition 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky earned the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and earned a score of 91 points from Whisky Advocate.
