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.

Wonderful , just the right balance.
Its a master whisky -with a clean clear taste -no bitterness and a smooth rounded finish-my new favourite
Great sipping Scotch, the kind you can get people who don't like Scotch to LIKE it. Negatives would be that it's a little too pricey ($78 tax included @ SPECS - American $'s), and it can sometimes be hard to get (guy said he had to "go in the back-back" to get most recent purchase.
Wow, what a great well rounded whisky. Sweet, spicey and just a whiff a of smoke....mothers milk!
My head registers quality when it comes to liquor. There are only two alcohols that do not give me a headache: Oban Scotch and Grey Goose vodka. Every other liquor, including champagne, gives me 3 to 4 day headache after even one drink. So Oban must be very pure. And delicious, it is that.
