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.

I've tried nearly everything. This is my Gold standard. It's just incredibly balanced. You drink this neat, if you put cubes near it you are a barbarian. ;-) Just can't find enough good to say about this. They have it ALL right.
I must not have the class, the others have on this site have. I tried a $16.oo glass on ice, I wanted to like it, and truly had a tough time picking anything flavorful about it. I admit, I have little experience in knowing what I'm looking for beside something that taste good, and too me this did not taste good. The taste reminded me of the smell of the medicine kit we use to have when I played football.
Honestly, I don't know what the review were just talking about. I am a fan of Irish whiskey and Kentucky bourbon, and I found this Highland whisky to be balanced and delicious without a hint of smoke.
A delightful single malt with a smooth finish. So glad I tried it!
Strong and smokey on the tongue with a likeable flavour but aftertaste slightly harsh for my liking. Certainly worth trying if you haven't tasted before.
