Oban 14YO

One of Scotland's smaller distilleries, Oban sits in the heart of the town of the same name, producing a cult, maritime spirit. The distillery is one of the oldest still active in Scotland, having been established in 1794. Oban is made using only the finest barley, malted to the distillery's own particular specification. Partly germinated barley is gently dried in a kiln where a light peat smoke gives the malt a distinctive character and taste. The result is the smoky, malty dryness in the flavor and finish of Oban.

The nose is rich and smoky. The medicinal notes are quite evident with notes of the sea; seaweed, tarry ropes. There are notes of cut hay and wood smoke rising with a gentle estery sweetness. The palate is thick and full. Notes of citrus with smooth sweetness.
