THE OBAN RANGE

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.

STRENGTH

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.

OBAN DISTILLERS' EDITION

Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine.

The founders of Oban distillery were entrepreneurs who imported and exported goods for which they could sense a demand. They would have approved of the Spanish influence brought to bear in this Montilla Fino cask wood finish.

A seriously complex whisky of the highest order – a glorious zesty nose and plenty of sweet fruit complemented by salt and chewy, roasty caramel malt.

STRENGTH

43% ABV

APPEARANCE

Amber, rose-hued

NOSE

Outstanding. Fruity and pungent; sea salt with crushed grapes, orange zest and hints of smoke. Massively complex.

BODY

Full, rich.

PALATE

Most explosive Oban ever. Soft malt then wave upon wave of delicate yet rich fruit notes on a tide of brine.

FINISH

Sweetened Jamaican coffee and oak, with an attractive malt-biscuit effect as it dies down.
