Oban 14 Year Old is a classic West Highland single malt Scotch whisky produced at one of Scotland’s oldest and smallest distilleries, located in the coastal town of Oban. Established in 1794, the distillery sits between the Highlands and the islands, and this unique location is reflected in the whisky’s balanced style, combining gentle maritime character with Highland richness. Matured for a minimum of fourteen years in oak casks, primarily ex-bourbon, this expression is widely regarded as a benchmark for the West Highland style.

Bright amber in colour, the nose opens with aromas of orange peel, dried fruit and honey layered with notes of sea spray, soft smoke and gentle spice. Subtle hints of malt sweetness, vanilla and light brine add depth and complexity, reflecting its coastal origins.

The palate is medium to full-bodied and well-rounded, delivering flavours of sweet malt, toffee and citrus balanced by notes of dried fruit, soft peat smoke and a touch of salinity. The texture is smooth and slightly oily, with a harmonious interplay of sweetness, spice and maritime influence. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of oak, spice, orange zest and a gentle smoky edge.

Oban 14 Year Old is a refined and balanced single malt, offering a bridge between smoky island whiskies and the softer Highland style, making it both distinctive and highly approachable.
