Show a fellow Scotch fan some love with a bottle of Oban 14 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky to enjoy the best of Islay and the Scottish highlands all in a single bottle.
Based in the Scottish west coast port of Oban, the Oban Distillery is a modest single malt producer largely famed for its West Highland style of whisky – a unique style that combines the traditional sweet style of its Highland home with the rich smokiness of neighboring Islay. Founded in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson, the distillery underwent several ownership changes and rebuilding before being acquired by Diageo who currently markets it as part of the Classic Malts of Scotland – a collection of six whiskies meant to represent the country’s distinct whisky styles.
Launched as their entry-level expression, the Oban 14 Year is a bottling that perfectly embodies the West Highland style of whisky making it an excellent choice for both sipping and mixing. Twice-distilled from peated Scottish barley malt, the Scotch spends a total of 14 years in used oak barrels, slowly developing its flavors.
On the nose, this golden amber whisky yields an inviting aroma of caramel, fruits, seaweed, and peat smoke, paving the way for a viscous and creamy palate brimming with notes of zesty citrus, ripe orchard fruits, heather, vanilla, toasted barley, sherry nuttiness, and more smoke that then culminate in a long and velvety finish of fruity sweetness and pleasing peat smoke.
A recipient of the gold medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 2013 and again in 2017, the Oban 14 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is one whisky that definitely needs no introduction making it a great gift choice for friends and loved ones.
Don’t wait and send a bottle their way today so they can savor the complex flavors of this finely-made Scotch to their heart’s content.
