Tasted at Oban Distillery. Image courtesy of Oban. This delicious whisky is a distillery exclusive bottling. Young Teddy is the second whisky in The Macleans Series, released in 2023, which honors the distilling legacy of the Maclean family and their long association with the Oban distillery. It follows Old Teddy, which was released in 2019, which was dedicated to Old Teddy Maclean, their long-serving distillery manager who began working there in 1953. This whisky is dedicated to his son, recently-retired Young Teddy Maclean, who joined in 1985. The legacy continues as Young Teddy's son, Derek Maclean, joined the distillery staff in 2017. Oban Young Teddy is finished in ex-Oloroso and ex-Palo Cortado sherry casks. There are just 4,542 bottles; and these are exclusively available at the distillery.
