Oban
Scotland
Single Malt
A bustling seaside resort has grown up around the distillery in the two centuries since it was first built in the fishing town of Oban. The West Highland malt is still produced in the same unhurried, traditional fashion and this 14 year old is a classic whisky from the distillery.
Smoky, maritime nose with hints of sticking plasters and toffee brittle.
Smoky, creamy palate with notes of marmalade, toffee apples and pear cider. A development of cloves comes late palate.
A long, malty finish with toasty oak and spice.
A true classic, Oban's 14 year old is a great coastal dram for lovers of lightly smoked, fresh malts.
£10.02 - £79.95
I like it. Very smooth and finishes well on the back of my tongue. Thank you.
My favourite Whiskey
This is smooth and easy to drink. It has a pleasant flavour - mildly orangey, honey with a bit of salt and a little heat at the end. A fairly new discovery for me and I will be returning.
I've seen others post updated reviews before, so I thought I'd do the same. Since this is the only bottle of whiskey I have on hand at the moment, I decided to pour another dram today. This time, I added a generous amount of water. The change was remarkable. Still a lot of sweetness on the nose, but the palate now features the brininess I've come to expect and love from the Islay scotches. Other reviews I've seen online have noted Oban 14's mercurial nature, able to live in both the Islay and Speyside worlds. Now I see exactly what they mean.
This whiskey is too sweet for me, and there's not enough complexity to balance out the sweetness. What makes this drinkable for me is the complex finish, which as others noted does open up some interesting flavours--I just wish those flavors were more up-front. I can definitely see why others enjoy this so much, but it isn't my style.
