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.

Excellent drink! One of favourites!
I was shocked at how smooth this whisky is. Truly impressive.
Although there are sweet notes on the palate for me the finish is smooth and smokey. I generally go for single malts on the sweeter side however this does not disappoint.
Just the right smokiness and strength.
Nose: Subtle spice oak…hint of chalk. Palate: Rich oaked honey. There's a somewhat unique deep throat test of orange. After: A honeyed train of spice lightly closes this out. Superb.
