Oban 15 Year Cask Strength

Oban was founded in 1794 by John and Hugh Stevenson on the west coast of Scotland, across from the isle of Tobermorey. It is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland, having only two pot stills and a distilling capacity under 700,000 liters a year. Because of distillery’s location in the town of Oban, the only avenue for expansion in recent years was discovered to contain remains of archaelogical significance and thus Oban was prevented from continuing. Due to the distillery’s limited production, the core range is not large, mostly comprising their standard 14 Year, Little Bay and Distillers Edition. This 15 Year Cask Strength is a US-exclusive release matured for over ten years and finished for four years in both ex-Oloroso and ex-Palo Cortado sherry casks from Andalusia, Spain.

Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask

Teeling Distillery was founded in 2015 and was the first new distillery to open in Dublin in 125 years. It was founded by Stephen and Jack Teeling, sons of the legendary John Teeling, all ancestors of the Walter Teeling who operated a distillery in Dublin in the late 18th Century. This Teeling Bordeaux Red Wine Cask is one such pick, a single malt entirely matured in the ex-wine casks rather than the more traditional finish, and bottled at cask strength.
