Discover the distinct flavors of the islands of Scotland with Oban 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This whisky holds a delicate balance of dried figs and honey-sweet spices followed by a long, smooth-sweet finish. The best of the Highlands and coastal influences, centuries of local distilling tradition are what make our whisky so exquisite. This spirit is best served neat in a tumbler, perhaps with a splash of cool spring water.

Look for pleasant sweetness and spice up front, as the nose offers a complex mix of oak, maple sugar, fresh apple, clove, black pepper and cinnamon. The flavors dry to a spicy midpalate before exiting on a long, concentrated maple-like note.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
