Over the past couple of years, I've been a judge in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. As judges, we taste over 250 spirits over a three-day period. To put it mildly, tasting a few hundred whiskies in 72 hours is an arduous process. But I definitely come out of it for the better. First, all that tasting gives the judges an amazing understanding of the categories we're tasting through, whether they're rum, aquavit, vodka, or whisky.
One of my favorites, Oban 18 is a slightly subtler iteration of the distillery's well-known 14-year-old bottle.So, go forth and start collecting. Here are ten bottles — mostly affordable, as single malts go, but with a couple of splurges — to get you started.This bottle's younger sibling, the Oban 14, is a staple on almost every bar and restaurant list in America.
