About this bottle
Oban 1996 Prima & Ultima 26 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky from the West Highland coastal distillery of Oban, bottled from the fourth release of Diageo's Prima & Ultima collection at a natural cask strength of 55.2% ABV. Laid down in 1996 and left to mature for 26 years, it carries the distillery's signature balance of maritime freshness and gentle smoke. Expect custard cream and lemon drizzle on the nose, dried pear and sea salt alongside marmalade and toffee on the palate, with melted white chocolate and orange fondant rounding into a long, sweetly citrus finish. A collector's pour for Highland malt fans who want cask strength without losing Oban's coastal character.
How to drink Oban 1996 Prima & Ultima 26 Year Old
Pour this one neat in a wide glass and give it ten minutes to open — cask strength needs air more than water. A few drops of still water tames the alcohol without flattening the citrus and toffee notes. This is a savor-slowly bottle, not a mixing one.
