Description
This might just become your favorite malt.
Oban Distillery is found beneath a steep cliff on the West Coast of Scotland in a port town of the same name. In fact, the town was built around the distillery, highlighting the importance of Scotch production to the economy of the day (and probably these days as well!). The distillery itself was built in 1793, making it one of the oldest in Scotland. The malt produced here is the embodiment of the salty coastal surrounds of Oban Distillery itself.
The Oban 14 Year Old tells a tale of its seaside home in every sip. Reflecting the rough rocky shores of “The Gateway to the Isles”, this dram is a delicate balance of dried figs and honey-sweet spices with smoke and tangy sea air. If you close your eyes you can perfectly imagine the waves rolling in over the crags and the salt wind blowing through the Whisky barrels. Despite the peated elegance of this malt, it is brilliantly smooth and will become your new favorite malt if you give it half a chance! It won a gold medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 94 points at the 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. It also won Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022!
