Tasting Notes
Nose: A breath of sea breeze and light smoke drifts over orange peel, heather honey, and a hint of dried apricot.
Palate: Silky waves of toffee apple, creamy malt, and citrus glide across the tongue, followed by subtle white-pepper warmth and a trace of briny peat.
Finish: Medium-long and gently drying—lingering salted caramel, soft oak spice, and a final flourish of orange zest and distant camp-fire embers.
Discover the gateway to Scotland’s rugged west coast with Oban 14 Year Old, one of Diageo’s revered Classic Malts of Scotland. Distilled in a tiny harbour-side stillhouse where Highland meets Island, this expression marries Oban’s gentle sea-salt influence with warm Highland fruit and honeyed malt. Bottled at 43 % ABV, it captures a perfectly balanced style—elegant, softly rich, and quietly maritime.
