OBAN 14 YEAR OLD

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 single malt is still produced in the same unhurried, traditional fashion.
A combination of light smoke, medium richness and appetising spice.

43% ABV

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.
