Previously part of their travel retail offering, Oban's Little Bay has graduated to the core range as a 70cl bottling. Master Blenders Dr. Matthew Crow and Dr. Craig Wilson use whisky matured in refill American oak hogsheads, European oak Sherry casks and refill casks with new ends for this expression before allowing the resultant single malt whisky to marry in small oak casks.

Solid and inoffensive with enough complexity to keep me tempted. The finish is lacking a bit but the nose more than makes up for it imo. I stumbled upon a sale at $39.99 US and think it worth every penny. If this were $65 +/- I would be FAR less tempted, however, at $40each I will be buying a second bottle.
Definitely something wrong with the profile: sits oddly on the tongue and leads to a heavy nose finish with a bitter pharmaceutical mouthfeel, rather disappointing. Now I know why the store I bought it at sold it at half price...
Sumptuous bouquet that sadly doesn’t deliver. Falls off the palate far too quickly. Thin. Weak. Hollow. Not what I expect of an Oban whiskey.
Lovely dram, was very surprised on how nice it is for a non specific age whisky, it's as good as the 14yr old lovely nose and taste, will be purchasing another one
While at the spirit retailer I noticed it stacked with a price that made me take a second look. The retailer had made a large quantity purchase and had it for almost half price. I sorta ignored it because I wasn't familiar yet I had purchased the 14 yr many times before and i liked it. I grabbed bottle os Balvenie CC off the shelf and as was checking out gave the Oban LB another glance. Grabbed a bottle out of pure thought that what the heck its cheap for the trying. Got home gave it a try and would take the Balvenie back in a second. In trade for this drop. Was impressed and even though it was on sale i will pay full price here on out.
