Oban 14 Year Old

Oban 14 Year Old is a classic Highland single malt that serves as a bridge between the light, fruity style of the Speyside and the peaty intensity of the Islands. It presents a rich olive-gold colour and an exceptionally balanced nose of sweet fruits—notably oranges, pears, and figs—underpinned by a distinct maritime saltiness and a wisp of peat smoke. On the palate, the whisky is full-bodied and "autumnal," showcasing a dense, oily texture with flavours of honey-drenched malt, dried figs, and orange zest. A light, smoky dryness and a hint of sea salt emerge mid-palate, leading to a long, smooth, and oak-sweet finish with a lingering salt-and-pepper spice.

Food Pairing: Perfectly complements freshly shucked oysters, smoked salmon with capers, honey-glazed duck, dark chocolate with sea salt, and aged cheeses like Manchego or sharp Cheddar.
