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.
For me it is just a perfect whisky. Smooth, interesting with a lovely briny taste. Delicious!
This is my current favorite whiskey/Scotch. Very smooth.
Punchy and full of deep flavours. Can make you catch your breath. Not too peaty or smokey. Not too sweet. Lovely finish. Very enjoyable and I needed a noticeable change from my glengoyne and glenrothes staples.
I’m not a Traditional Scotch drinker. But I loved the smooth Oban. Hard to stop drinking it. I highly recommend this brew for a quality Scotch experience.
Super whisky! Great introduction to the smoky whiskies if you are new to them. Thick and silky. Medicinal notes clear. I smell mint!
