Distiller Notes
2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner
This whisky holds peaty, spicy and fruity notes balanced by an attractive smoky-malty dryness. Its intricate blend of flavors creates a long, smooth and sweet finish with hints of dark chocolate and salted caramel. The best of the Highlands and coastal influences, centuries of local distilling tradition are what make our award-winning whisky so exquisite. This spirit is best served neat in a tumbler, perhaps with a splash of cool spring water.

Drier, less toffee and fruit, more dried spice and oak when compared to the standard Oban 14 year old. A beautiful combination of rich, nutty toffee balanced by polished oak, salt, pepper, seaweed, distant smoke, and dried fruit. Somewhat oily in texture. Wonderful depth, too! An improvement on what is already the biggest-selling Diageo single malt scotch in the U.S. Very exciting and dynamic.
“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.
