Oban 14 Year Old
Oban 14 Year Old is the flagship expression from the historic Oban Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest and most iconic coastal whisky makers. Positioned between the Highlands and the Islands, Oban’s whisky carries a distinctive balance of maritime saltiness, rich fruit sweetness, and gentle smoke. Matured for 14 years, this expression delivers elegance, depth, and a beautifully harmonious profile. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is widely regarded as one of the most refined and accessible coastal single malts — a classic for both newcomers and seasoned whisky enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Orange peel, dried apricot, sea breeze, honey, heather, light smoke, and soft malt.
Palate: Rich and smooth with flavours of peach, citrus zest, sweet malt, sea salt, gentle smoke, and a touch of spice. Balanced, warm, and silky.
Finish: Long and satisfying with oak spice, dried fruit, sea salt, and lingering smoky sweetness.
