Production of Oban's 10 Years Old Special Release 2024

The production of the 10 Years Old Special Release 2024 is carried out to the highest standards. The foundation is high-quality malted barley sourced from Scotland. The entire process begins with malting the barley, followed by careful drying over peat fires. This method gives the spirit a distinctive smokiness that is characteristic of the region.

After malting, the barley is milled and mixed with warm water. During the first stage of production, the wort is created and then fermented in fermentation tanks with the addition of special yeast strains. This yeast is responsible for developing the desired aromas and ethanol. After fermentation, distillation takes place in copper pot stills, where the spirit essence is collected. The art of distillation lies in using only the heart cut to extract the maximum aroma.

The matured whisky is aged for ten years in carefully selected oak casks that were previously used for sherry and other fine spirits. These wooden casks contribute to the complexity and depth of the flavor notes and give the whisky its distinctive aroma. Before bottling, the whisky is filled into bottles, preserving the product's fresh and vibrant character.
