Oban Highland Single Malt Whisky (1 Litre) (Old Bottling) 14 Year Old
In stock
Oban 14 Year Old is a superb combination of rich sweetness and smoky dryness with fruity notes of oranges, pears and dried figs, plus hints of sea-salt and peat smoke notes. It works well as an accompaniment to seafood like oysters or smoked salmon, giving them new depths of flavour.
Balancing autumn fruits and sea air, Oban whisky owes its rich and rewarding Highland character to its very long fermentation process. The tiny lamp glass-shaped copper pot stills that make Oban’s Scotch are among the smallest in Scotland, and the liquor they distil is slowly condensed in wooden worm tubs outside among the rooftops, exposed to the salted sea air, bringing a distinct depth of flavour said to go very well with salted caramel.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold hues and a warm, honey-tinged glow.
Nose
Coastal and inviting, the nose blends sun-warmed orange zest with ripe pear and dried fig, a rich sweetness tempered by a saline sea-air note. A subtle peat smoke threads through, leaving a mineral, maritime glow.
Palate
Silky, medium to full-bodied, it layers honeyed sweetness with quiet coastal smoke. Bright orange zest and pear mingle with dried fig for depth, while a marine salt nuance threads through peat. The palate closes with a long, salted-caramel finish and a refined mineral edge, leaving an enduring coastal warmth.
Finish
Long maritime finish, smoky yet dry, with a sea-salt tang that lingers. Dried figs, oranges and pears echo, tempered by a soft peat smoke and a whisper of salted caramel.
