Product Information

From a busy seaside town in Scotland comes Oban 14 Year Old, a Highland malt with some wonderful smoky notes.

The distillery offers a range of expressions, including the signature Oban 14 Year Old and a variety of limited edition releases. The spirit for this whisky has been produced the same way since the distillery was founded in the small fishing town of Oban back in 1794. For those unfamiliar with what it’s like, think of it as similar to college but being more specialized. Inoffensive and smooth, not improved with a drop of water, but some pleasant notes of malt and bitter orange.Pre-dating the town of Oban, it was originally established in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson. Oban 14 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky has flavours of rich fruits, smoky dryness, honeyed spice, and a whiff of sea salt distinguish this full-bodied Highland malt. There’s a good malt backbone to it too, and a pinch of salt, before the oak spice picks up at the end of the sip. Flavours of rich fruits, smoky dryness, honeyed spice, and a whiff of sea salt distinguish this full-bodied Highland malt.

A little salty; a little malty; honey sweetness, big orange zest (amongst other citrus fruits); and a lovely underlying smoke that doesn’t really overplay it’s part.Oban 14 Year Old is a superb full blooded fruity malt with a whiff of heather and more than a hint of smoke. I think it’s more to do with the fact that you’re using a warmer surface to condense the spirit, therefore the rate of condensation is lower – letting the spirit ‘hang out’ with the copper longer. I went to my liquor shelf for a much-needed dram, considered my options, and decided to look for a whisky that wouldn’t need much thinking, one that I can maybe enjoy while reading a book (this time, for leisure), watching a series, or even woolgathering. This “dustiness” manifests in slightly various ways depending on the whisky; when it comes to this one, it leans more toward stale chocolate chip cookies. It is the one Single Malt Scotch Whisky in which the rich, complex flavours of the Highlands meet and mingle with the peaty, maritime character of the Islands.
