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.

A delicious smooth scotch
For me as a beer judge it is the smoothest, lovely aroma and tasting whisky, the creme de la creme in whisky !! I would not need another brand. Although a friend made a whisky with Maris Otter malt and that was exceptional good too !!!
I've been rebuilding my single malt collection after a move and just acquired the Oban. Just superb. It's just a hint sweeter and a shade less smokey than Laphroig so I would say smoother but these subjective phrases are difficult to describe. The Oban is simply beautiful.
Really good single malt. Very rounded ,smokey and sweet. Very well balanced... I must say. Like it very much and trying to keep in my collection always.
Smooth single malt. Probably the best that is out there today in this price range. Highly recommend!
