The Oban 11 Years Old The SOUL OF CALYPSO Single Malt Special Release 2023 58% ABV 0.7 l + GB is an exceptional limited edition from the highly sought-after Diageo Special Releases 2023 Collection. This exclusive bottling combines the classic maritime character of the historic Oban Distillery with an unusual cask maturation inspired by the lively rhythms and zest for life of the Caribbean. The name ‘The Soul of Calypso’ reflects this special connection and makes the whisky one of the most exciting special releases in the series. The historic distillery on Scotland’s west coast is renowned for its balanced combination of coastal character, fruitiness and subtle spice, which is also impressively showcased in this limited edition.

For the Oban 11 Years Old The Soul of Calypso, the whisky was first matured in the traditional manner and then finished in carefully selected Caribbean rum casks. This special finish lends the single malt additional exotic fruit notes, an elegant sweetness and remarkable complexity. Bottled at a robust 58% ABV cask strength, without chill filtration and without any added colouring, this Highland single malt Scotch whisky is particularly intense and expressive. The high-quality 0.7-litre bottle is supplied in an attractive gift box and is of great interest to both collectors and enthusiasts of limited-edition whiskies.
