Product Information

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Oban distillery ( / ˈ oʊ b ə n/ ⓘ OH-bən; [1] Scottish Gaelic: Taigh-stail an Òbain) is a whisky distillery in the Scottish west coast port of Oban. Established in 1794, it was built before the town of the same name, which sprang up later in the surrounding craggy harbour. [2] Next up in the NASverse is Oban, which is releasing its mew Little Bay expression just in time for Burns Day (January 25). This isn’t just another random collection of mysterious whiskies. Much like Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Little Bay is aged in part in smaller casks, giving it a distinct character.

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. Oban is a Western Highland Scotch distillery and brand owned by Diageo. Founded in 1794 at Argyll, the distillery was initially operated as a brewery but began distillation shortly after. Like many of Scotland’s distilleries, ownership changed multiple times, and the distillery was modernized, too. Today, Oban is said to be the second smallest distillery owned by Diageo when it comes to production capacity, at 870,000 liters per year. The Macallan — by contrast — has an enormous, recently renovated distillery compound that aims to help the luxury brand take advantage of rabid consumer demand in the luxury drinks market by increasing supply.Oban in Scots Gaelic means’ little bay’ and describes the distillery’s location near the shore of Sound of Kerrera on the coast of the Hebrides. At the plant’s founding in 1793, the town of Oban had not yet been founded. In its early days, the location worked as a brewery, producing ale for inhabitants of the newly laid town. After a few years, the first distillations were recorded. Oban distillery is owned by Diageo. It has only two pot stills, making it one of the smallest in Scotland, producing a whisky that has been described as having a "West Highland" flavour that falls between the dry, smoky style of the Scottish islands and the lighter, sweeter malts of the Highlands. [3] History [ edit ] Palate: Smoky, creamy palate with notes of marmalade, toffee apples and pear cider. A development of cloves comes late palate. The label on the bottle depicts seagulls, which symbolize the proximity of the distillery to the sea, and the sea salt notes that form a vital characteristic of Oban’s flavor profile. The bottle also talks about the Oban region’s history and lineage which is part Viking and part Celt and how the early descendants came to be. All this definitely adds to the experience of enjoying a dram of Oban 14. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

Description: In the glass, Oban 14 is the color of amber, or polished mahogany with a red-brown hue. It has moderate legs at 86-proof. Marketing copy on the label of the 14-year-old expression translates the word Oban to mean ‘Little Bay of Caves,’ describing the area on the shores of Lorn along the Barrain cliffs that has been home to inhabitants since 5,000 BCE. 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:
