Oban的酒廠就建於Highland西部的懸崖附近,遙望著蘇格蘭的諸島,就像是The Night’s Watch守護著Castle Black!而這款威士忌特別以黑色瓶身來迎合The Night’s Watch的感覺,加上豐富的口感,就像是軍團般的辛辣!
The brothers of the Night's Watch take an oath and pledge their lives to protect the Seven Kingdoms and guard them from the terrors that lie beyond the ancient barrier of ice, The Wall, from their base at Castle Black. There lies a frozen wasteland which, legend has it, is inhabited by giants, wildlings and the Night King and his army of White Walkers who bring with them the long night. Just like Castle Black, Oban Distillery sits at the foot of a steep cliff that overlooks the bay, the frontier between the West Highlands and the Islands of Scotland. The richness of the whiskey is balanced with a woody, spicy dryness that would keep even the Night's Watch warm in winter.
On the nose this Oban has aromas of hay and tangy savory aromas, but calms into cocoa and Morello cherries. On the palate there are instant flavors of dark berry pie and liquorice. Toasted oak joins the fray, and citrus and cloves add a lighter touch . The finish brings back those cherries and dark fruits, alongside a hint of savory.

【Tasting Notes】
⧫ Color: Amber
⧫ Nose: Fresh squeezed orange, apricot, plum, and floral tea intermingle with barrel char, saline, and a wisp of campfire smoke.
⧫ Taste:Light-moderate body. Sweet and malty. The orange, apricot, and plum notes from the nose carry on through the palate and command your attention. Behind the fruit, we find heather, lavender, black tea, and baking spices, as well as vanilla, mild oak tannin, barrel char, light smoke and some salinity.
⧫ Finish: Short. The fruit and floral notes fade quickly, allowing the barrel char, smoke, vanilla, and oak notes to briefly take the spotlight, accompanied by very faint herbal notes of menthol and spearmint.
