Description

Grandson Derek is the third and final release in The MacLeans Series from Oban distillery, celebrating three generations of distillers from the MacLean family. This limited edition single malt showcases Oban's signature coastal Highland style with extra layers of flavour from a dual cask finish. Matured initially in oak, the whisky was then finished in 2nd fill ex-Pinot Noir casks and ex-Sangiovese wine casks, imparting layers of red fruit richness and spice while preserving Oban's classic maritime complexity. Bottled at a robust 52.3% abv, it was released as a distillery exclusive bottling.

Nose
Mellow and nose-drying. The initial top notes are fruity and faintly floral, suggesting hyacinths, but are soon supplanted by maritime scents of salt crystal and sea breeze, with a suggestion of fresh linen.
Palate
A creamy-smooth texture leads to a taste that is quite sweet initially. After the mild nose, it is surprisingly powerful, as a hot, peppery spiciness with an attractive salty edge roars through the sweetness. It's approachable neat, as the spicy intensity remains part of the flavour without dominating it, yet more easy-going with water, which maintains the sweet-spicy balance while reducing the sheer power of the spiciness.
Finish
Long, hot n' spicy and lightly drying, the peppery heat of the spice still clear.
