Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
Oban 14 Year is a very likable dram indeed with flavors of pears, sea salt, heather, toasted barley, and a touch of earthy peat smoke.

Product Description
The distillery is at the heart of Oban -- "Gateway of the Isles." In effect, the town grew up around the distillery, founded by John and Hugh Stevenson in 1794. Oban's attractive West Highland character reflects its location, revealing aspects of both the Highland and the Island styles. Elegant and glowing, it marries the sea air character of the Island malts to the soft, richly fruity style of the Highlands, creating its own rich tasting West Highland malt. The stills here are among the smallest in Scotland. The cramped nature of the site places severe limits on production, which in turn means that demand for Oban's richly appreciated malt is always likely to exceed supply. Few malts were ever made in the Western Highlands and only two now remain. Oban, like its home, remains their capital. Oban is the unforgettable West Highland destination on a journey around Scotland's six malt whisky making regions. Tasting Notes: Palate: Dried fig, spice, and a smoked malt dryness Scent: Fresh oranges, lemons, and pears, with a hint of salt and peat Finish: Long, smooth, and oaky sweet with a grain of salt Body: Full Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote
Whisky Advocate · Dave Broom · 2012
A much-beloved malt in the U.S. … 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.

A beautifully soft and elegant dram with soft and mellow tropical fruit and spice, fresh lemon peel and fragrant beeswax. Apple strudel and hot creamy custard fill the mouth before a well-balanced and sweet, long finish.
