Clean and dry finish. What remains is the wonderful nature (flora) directly on the coast. Round and clean.

Today, there are five official whisky regions, which are tied to scotch’s unique region of geographic indication allowing it to be a protected product in international trade through pacts with the European Union, the United States and most of the whisky-consuming world. But when the UK government updated the Scotch Whisky Regions in 2009, they discontinued a historical region — the Islands — and rolled it into the Highlands. When comparing products with identical ingredients, the techniques utilized during the malting, fermentation, distillation and maturation processes significantly impact the resulting flavor.Nose: Distinct malty sweetness, with a faint saline mineral note and hint of smoke. Mint, oak, almonds, and butterscotch. The distillery was built in 1794 by the brothers John and Hugh Stevenson and operated by them until 1866, when it was bought by Peter Curnstie. It was then acquired by Walter Higgin in 1883 and rebuilt. In 1898, Alexander Edward, who also owned Aultmore Distillery, bought out Higgin. In its first year of operation, it suffered major losses when a major blending company, Pattison's of Leith, went under. In 1923, Oban was sold to Dewars and joined Distillers Company with that company in 1925. It fell silent from 1931 until 1937 and again from 1969 to 1972 when a new still house was built. In 1989 a new visitors' centre was installed. [4] Bottlings [ edit ]

Oban’s proximity to the ocean gives the final spirit a minerality that works overtime to add complexity to the light and fruity new make off the still. Always enjoyed Oban 14 as a change from my “peated favourites”, until the price increase last year had me looking at alternatives.But on offer this time made for a happy return.Splendid service as usual from H.O.M True to its nose, the palate is also fruit-forward. Toffee apples, marmalade, and pears. The spiciness from the casks is also very evident. Honeyed spices like cloves pop up which coats the mouth and gives a good finish. Also, the taste is where I feel the real impact of the sea comes in. There is that briny saltiness along with peat smoke that just teleports you to the seashore. The Key Notes on the Nose would be: In December 2014 Oban introduced a NAS (non-age-statement) bottling, called Oban "Little Bay". In 2023, Diageo released an 11-year-old Oban called "The Soul of Calypso" as part of the Special Releases. It was matured in Caribbean rum casks.

Maybe I’ll have it again at a bar or something sometime down the road, but if I don’t…oh well.Oban 14 Years is the core offering from the Oban distillery which is among the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Erected in 1794 it was the beginning of what would become the city of Oban. Unlike many distilleries that spring up inside of a city, this time the city sprung up around the Distillery.

Oban 14 Years - The Whiskey Jug Oban 14 Years - The Whiskey Jug

On the nose: There is an initial puff of wax that fades immediately and turns into caramel sauce and bubble gum. A very brief dash of smoke. Tulip petals, dry oats, paprika, and almost a sense of creaminess. Overall, it’s balanced, doesn’t have much complexity, and consistently comes across as delicate. It has its place in the classic malt range. Perhaps not optimal in terms of price-performance ratio, but a fair bottle. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. There is an initial blast of sweetness followed by a slight alcohol burn. You can smell the red orchid fruits, some stone fruit dipped in honey. Then there is some citrus zest, which is almost like orange peel. Then there is of course a gentle, almost sublime smoke. This combination is almost like perfume to me. The Key Notes on the Nose would be: Even today, this small town can be photographed in a single frame and prides itself on being one of the best in seafaring and whisky-making. The History of the Oban Distillery

I’ve never been overly impressed with Oban 14. It’s always been one of those malts that I get when it’s cheap at a bar, over at a friend’s place or have an after-work-dram with folks in the office because someone always seems to have a bottle, but I’ve never reviewed it… till now. In the 20 th century, Oban endured two different episodes of mothballing: once from 1931 to 1937, and again from 1969 to 1972. Eventually, it made its way (as so many whisky distilleries seem to do) into the Diageo portfolio, where it remains to this day, honored with a position as one of the six Classic Malts alongside Dalwhinnie, Talisker, Cragganmore, Lagavulin, and Glenkinchie.
