The Soul of Calypso A vibrant cacophony of flavours pulsing with hints of tropical fruit and whispers of exotic sea air. Vivid energy and a vibrant mix of Caribbean cultures collide in a roar of jubilation, amid a euphoric atmosphere. Bright colours burst forth to the parading beat of steel drums. Celebrating the passionate soul of the Caribbean, spinning Soca dancers lift their faces to the tropical sun, exuberant and radiant in the exotic sea air. Inspired by the merging of rhythms in the beating heart of calyppso, our Malt Master finished this lively Oban expression in Caribbean Pot Still rum casks. The vibrant combination evokes unexpected tropical notes of sugar cane and mango, which build on Oban's own clever fusion of the Highland and Island styles. A glint of gold announces the summer sun while the fresh aroma of a sea breeze, backed by notes of citrus and enhanced by hints of tropical fruit and a dry spiciness, quickly brings the carnival closer. On the palate, an oil-smooth texture is accompanied by a joyously sweet, richly fruity and lightly salty taste that dances across the tongue, finishing with an insistently spicy beat.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
This whisky has a toasty, sweet, and briny characteristic … The palate has a creamy, rich entry echoing many of the same elements as the nose, but has more of a spicy bite that mingles with the butterscotch flavors.
Sweet tropical fruit flavors—mango, papaya, and lychee—then salted caramel, lemon bonbons, rich toffee, and long-lasting spice on the finish. … There are sufficient Oban signature notes here, but the rum cask finish twists it into exciting new directions.
