Oban 14 years 

Oban 14 Years is one of the classics from Scotland’s coastal distilleries, perfectly bridging the gap between the smoky islands and the rich Highlands. This whisky combines maritime influences with fruity and malty tones, delivering a harmonious and accessible character. Matured in oak casks, it gains depth while the sea air imparts subtle hints of salt. An elegant dram for those who appreciate balance and complexity.

Oban Distillery

Oban Distillery is located in the picturesque coastal town of Oban, on the west coast of Scotland, strategically nestled between the sea and the Scottish Highlands. Founded in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson, it is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland and plays a central role in Oban's community.

A unique feature of Oban Distillery is the use of water from Loch Gleann a'Bhearraidh, which contributes to the purity and unique flavour profile of their whiskies. Oban whiskies are known for their rich, complex flavour with notes of sea salt, seaweed, honey, citrus and a subtle smokiness. The use of traditional copper pot stills and a slow distillation process ensures a full-bodied, balanced spirit.

The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks, ensuring a deep and refined flavour. The combination of an idyllic location, historic traditions and high-quality whiskies makes Oban a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
