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 truly believe Oban answers that question in the affirmative. You allow this thin liquid to roll around the inside of your mouth and by some miracle it turns into a vanilla/caramel cream candy. You let it gently slide down your throat and you are left with a butterscotch-flambe finish. Wow! 4 December, 2016
I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly... But seriously... On a cool fall evening, after having shared an intimate night with my lover, I sat fireside in my robe pondering life and sipping on a glass of Oban 14. As I drank the smooth, smoky concoction; I was instantly taken back to a simpler time. Hunting trips with my late father in the low country of Georgia; our English Pointer sniffing out quail as snow fall cascaded down from the heavens. It was that hunting trip, in the safety of our cabin that my father let me try a sip of his scotch whiskey for the first time. Oban 14 brings me back to this every time.
Delicious, unique single malt. Oban 14's lingering caramel palate is complemented with almost bourbon-like notes. A dandy at $60.
Paid over $75.00 assuming price mattered, but found elsewhere under $50.00 This is smooth and has a great finish. It's color doesn't speak to its depth. Will buy again!
I love to just take one zip at the time holding it and let the flavor penetrates my mouth and tongue wonderful taste And flavor bombardment afterwards in the whole mouth worth all the money
