Nose: Lemon oil and orange peel are joined by salted caramel, vanilla custard, and a light maritime freshness. Hints of nutmeg and honeycomb drift in.

Palate: Bright and welcoming, with vanilla fudge, orange marmalade, and lemon zest. Sea salt crackles through, with subtle oak spice and toasted almond.

Finish: Medium length, with lingering citrus zest, brine, and creamy toffee.

Distillery Information

Oban pride themselves on being one of the smallest (46,069 sq feet - second only to Royal Lochnagar), oldest, most traditional and authentic Scotch whisky distilleries. Oban (pronounced “OH-Bin”) is a Gaelic word that means “Little Bay”. The Oban distillery employs a total of only seven staff and produces a modest 670 thousand litres of whisky per year, which is small by today's industrial production standards. Oban claims that their production methods haven’t changed since 1794 and that they’ve never expanded or moved the distillery. This shows impressive restraint in an age of hyper-expansion across many scotch whisky distilleries. Oban claims that this restraint is all in the name of the authenticity and quality of their whisky.
