Oban Description
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 Oban’s Scotch are among the smallest in Scotland, and the liquor they distill 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.
A hint of peat smoke, combined with a salty maritime flavor. Citrus orangey notes are also present in both the nose and on the palate, and the sweeter honeyed notes give our malt a smooth silky finish.
Region: A Highland malt with one foot on the islands.
Appearance: Olive gold.
Nose: Rich sweetness and fruits - oranges, lemons and pears, with sea-salt and peaty smokiness.
Body: A full, rich, almost oily malt.
Palate: Mouth-filling late autumn fruits - dried figs and honey-sweet spices; followed by a smoky malty dryness.
Finish: Long, smooth-sweet finish with oak-wood, dryness and a grain of salt.
Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 94 Points
Pineapple slices and nectarine nectar mix with soaked oats for a pleasing set of aromas. The robust nature of this whisky comes out in the mouth with subtle smoked wood, sun dried orange peel and sea breeze. Elegant and long lasting.
