Product Description

Oban 14 Year Old is a distinguished Highland single malt, produced by one of Scotland's oldest and smallest licensed distilleries. Located at the point where the rugged land meets the sea, the Oban distillery has been crafting exceptional whisky since 1794. This single malt represents the unique marriage of the rich, fruity character of the Highlands with the smoky, maritime influences of the nearby Islands, making it a true icon of Scottish whisky.

The whisky itself is a harmonious blend of rich sweetness, smoky dryness, and tantalising spice. It owes its deep and complex character to an extended fermentation process and the use of small, lamp glass-shaped copper pot stills, some of the tiniest in Scotland. The whisky is condensed slowly in wooden worm tubs, exposed to the salty sea air, which imparts a distinctive depth and flavour profile that is truly unique.

On the nose, Oban 14 offers aromas of honey, heather, and hints of sea salt, while the palate reveals a balance of smoky warmth, orange peel, and a touch of sweetness. Subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, and a dash of sea air complement the whisky’s bold character. The finish is long, warming, and gently spiced, with lingering hints of salt and fruit.

Best enjoyed neat, or with a splash of cool spring water, Oban 14 Year Old is a whisky that should be savoured slowly, allowing the depth and complexity of its flavours to unfold with each sip. This iconic whisky captures the spirit of the West Highlands in every drop.
