Oban 14 Year Old is a superb combination of rich sweetness and smoky dryness with fruity notes of oranges- pears and dried figs- plus hints of sea-salt and peat smoke notes. It works well as an accompaniment to seafood like oysters or smoked salmon- giving them new depths of flavour.

Balancing autumn fruits and sea air- Oban whisky owes its rich and rewarding Highland character to its very long fermentation process. The tiny lamp glass-shaped copper pot stills that make Obans Scotch are among the smallest in Scotland- and the liquor they distil is slowly condensed in wooden worm tubs outside among the rooftops- exposed to the salted sea air- bringing a distinct depth of flavour said to go very well with salted caramel.
