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.

"Tastes like paint thinner and down the drain it went"?... A; Why on earth would you be tasting paint thinner? B; Are you prone to the odd 'porky' now and again? I would offer that this whisky is sometimes a tad overpriced, like a few others, yet for the price i paid I am impressed, particularly with it's 'all-rounder' qualities, both on the nose and on the palate. A Bonnie wee toon as well...
my mother won a bottle in a raffle for 50 pence . shes not a big whiskey drinker so when she found out it sells for about 45GBP she decided to keep it for a special occasion. damn stll a few years to my 50th . guess i will have to wait till then to sample and give a review . still at 50 pence a bottle it would still be value even if it does taste like paint thinners that some reviewers have equated it to (never tried paint thinners so i would not now what it would taste like ) they must have drink problems if they lower themselves to that standard of drink.
A very well balanced Scotch, long lasting finish fabulous on the nose great value for money.
