A classic from the western Highlands this fruity malt offers a whiff of heather and more than a hint of smoke. The nose speaks of the sea with mineral, brine, and smoke playing alongside of mild maltiness; the palate is rich with dried fig, orange, sweet malty flavour and smoke followed by a long finish with a hint of salt. Nose Smoky, maritime nose with hints of sticking plasters and toffee brittle. Palate Smoky, creamy palate with notes of marmalade, toffee apples and pear cider. A development of cloves comes late palate. Finish A long, malty finish with toasty oak and spice. Overall A true classic, Oban's 14 year old is a great coastal dram for lovers of lightly smoked, fresh malts.
