Oban 11 Year The Soul of Calypso was released as part of Diageo's Special Releases for 2023, taking the Western Highland distillery's classic malt and finishing it in Caribbean pot still rum casks for a distinctive tropical twist on Oban's signature style.
The nose offers tropical fruit sweetness layered over Oban's characteristic maritime notes, while the palate brings rum cask sweetness, dried fruit, and a touch of sea salt, finishing warm and fruity with lingering spice. It's a limited, adventurous take on a Highland classic.
This special release is best enjoyed neat to appreciate the interplay between Oban's coastal character and the rum cask finish, and it pairs nicely with tropical desserts, grilled seafood, or dark chocolate. A great find for collectors and Oban fans looking for something different. Shop Oban 11 Year The Soul of Calypso online at Habits Bottle Shop while supplies last.
