Oban 14 Year Old West Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

SKU #620023 91 points Wine Enthusiast

Look for pleasant sweetness and spice up front, as the nose offers a complex mix of oak, maple sugar, fresh apple, clove, black pepper and cinnamon. The flavors dry to a spicy midpalate before exiting on a long, concentrated maple-like note. (KN) (12/2015)

Whisky Advocate

A much-beloved malt in the U.S. Some say it’s because it is easy to pronounce (though having said that, remember it’s ‘OH-bin’ and not ‘O’Bahn’). I’d prefer to think its popularity is because there is something about the fresh cleanliness of the nose, its orange oils, chocolate, and zesty-zingy and yes, occasionally salty spiciness that is instantly appealing.

K&L Notes

This western Highland malt is said to have been originally created in 1794. Oban is a true classic, with an amber color, an assertive, round nose, and a rich, slightly viscous body. On the palate, it is dry with malty and fruity undertones. It has a wonderfully smooth and aromatic finish.
