Oban
West Highland

40
A bustling seaside resort has grown up around Oban distillery in the two centuries since it set up home in a fishing village. The West Highland single malt is still produced in the same unhurried, traditional fashion.
A combination of light smoke, medium richness and appetising spice.
43% ABV
Olive gold
Rich sweetness and fruits - oranges, lemons and pears, with sea-salt and peaty smokiness.
Full, rich.
Mouth-filling late autumn fruits - dried figs and honey-sweet spices; followed by a smoky malty dryness.
Long, smooth-sweet finish with oak-wood, dryness and a grain of salt.
