Description

The Oban 1996 26 Year Old Prima & Ultima is a distinguished single malt, marking Oban's debut in the prestigious Prima & Ultima collection. This expression, aged for 26 years in refill European Oak Butts, is highly unusual for Oban, delivering a distinctively dry maritime slant to both its aroma and taste, alongside a lively peppery spiciness. It is limited to 428 bottles.

Nose
Mellow and drying, with a light prickle. Initial notes are faintly medicinal and mossy, with hints of grapefruit and light oiliness. Sweet suggestions of toffee and a faint hint of fragrant smoke are also present. Water enhances the toffee notes and introduces a balsa wood character.
Palate
The texture is smoothly oily and lightly waxy. It starts surprisingly sweet with apple-fruity notes, then quickly becomes drying with chili-pepper spiciness. The flavor is reminiscent of a toffee apple with burnt edges.
Finish
A good length, spicy kick, and a mouth-cooling aftertaste with warming Szechuan pepper-spice. The spice is reduced with a drop of water, making it sweeter and saltier.
