Oban Single Malt 14 Years

A bustling sea­side resort has grown up around Oban ™ dis­tillery in the two cen­turies since it set up home in a fish­ing vil­lage. The West High­land malt is still pro­duced in the same unhur­ried, tra­di­tional fashion.

Tast­ing notes

Appear­ance: Olive gold.

Nose: Rich sweet­ness and fruits — oranges, lemons and pears, with sea-salt and peaty smokiness.

Body: Full, rich.

Palate: Mouth-filling late autumn fruits — dried figs and honey-sweet spices; fol­lowed by a smoky malty dryness.

Fin­ish: Long, smooth-sweet fin­ish with oak-wood, dry­ness and a grain of salt.
