Oban 14 is like a taste of Scotland’s rugged coastline in a glass. It comes from one of the oldest distilleries, right where the Highlands meet the Islands — a perfect spot for making whisky with a little salty sea breeze. It pours a warm olive-gold color and smells of sweet fruits like oranges, lemons, and pears, mixed with a hint of sea salt and smoky peat. On the palate, it’s full and rich, with flavors of dried figs and honeyed spices, balanced by that classic smoky dryness. The finish is long and smooth, with a touch of oak and a salty edge.
