Facts

Oban 14 years comes from one of Scotland's classic coastal distilleries. The style lands between Highland richness and maritime salt. Orange peel and honey lead first, then smoke and oak start to build. You also get peppery spice and a dry malt thread through the center. The finish is long, smooth, and gently salty. This bottle has enough depth for experienced drinkers, but remains friendly for newcomers. It is often the whisky people choose when they want balanced coastal character without heavy peat.

About the distillery

Distillery

Oban

Oban distillery is a whisky distillery in the Scottish west coast port of Oban. Established in 1794, it was built before the town of the same name, which sprung up later in the surrounding craggy harbour. Oban distillery is owned by Diageo. It has only two pot stills, making it one of the smallest in Scotland, producing a whisky that has been described as having a "West Highland" flavour that falls between the dry, smoky style of the Scottish islands and the lighter, sweeter malts of the Highlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oban_distillery
