Description
Oban is among Scotland's most venerable and modest distilleries, having been established in 1794. The port city of Oban sprang up around it, nestled in the Western Highlands. This single malt Scotch whiskey fuses the rich, complex flavors typical of the Highlands with the distinctive maritime and smoky taste of the islands. Oban is distinguished by its notes of autumn fruits and saline air, acquiring its full and comforting character, characteristic of the Highlands, thanks to an extensive fermentation process. The lamp-shaped copper stills used in its distillation are among the smallest in Scotland, producing a distillate that slowly condenses in wooden coils under the influence of the sea breeze, resulting in a singular depth of flavor that marries perfectly with hints of salted caramel.
The Oban 14 Year Old is an exquisite balance of vibrant sweetness and smoky dryness, with notes of orange, pear and dried figs, enhanced by a subtle flavor of sea salt and peat smoke. Its silky texture and exquisite taste make it an outstanding malt whiskey for fans and connoisseurs. The experts' recommendation is to enjoy it pure or with a touch of spring water, serving as an ideal complement to fish and seafood dishes, such as smoked salmon and oysters, enhancing the flavors of these foods. Its alcohol content is 43%.
