Product Information

Oban is a genuinely segregated refinery, roosted on the westernedge of the Scottish terrain at the extremely top of the Kintyre promontory. The General Wine Company is a family-owned and operated wine merchant in Liphook, Hampshire, England. Tasting Notes: Oban has a sweet peated nose with hints of burnt heather carried through to the palate with just a touch of creaminess. The tiny lamp glass-shaped copper pot stills that make Oban's Scotch are among the smallest in Scotland, and the liquor they distil is slowly condensed in wooden worm tubs outside among the rooftops, exposed to the salted sea air, bringing a distinct depth of flavour said to go very well with salted caramel.

S. Some say it’s because it is easy to pronounce (though having said that, remember it’s ‘OH-bin’ and not ‘O’Bahn’). There’s a good malt backbone to it too, and a pinch of salt, before the oak spice picks up at the end of the sip. If there is any doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the data contained on this page, please ensure you check the product packaging before serving and contact us immediately. The spirit for this whisky has been produced the same way since the distillery was founded in the small fishing town of Oban back in 1794. You should also note that the picture images show only our serving suggestions of how to prepare your food - all table accessories and additional items and/or ingredients pictured with the product you are purchasing are not included.I’ve considered beer for those kinds of occasions, too, but it just feels too heavy in the stomach for me, haha! The spirit has been matured in ex-bourbon refill American oak hogshead casks and is captured at 43% ABV. The spirit is matured in a combination of American oak and European oak casks, which gives it a unique and complex flavour profile. The Oban distillery is one of Scotland's smallest distilleries with just two small lantern-shaped stills. A rich, sweet and fruity nose with notes of oranges, lemons, pears and traces of sea-salt and peat smoke.

When I was new to whisky years ago, I first learned of Oban because its 14-year-old single malt was one of the six Classic Malts of Scotland, a selection created by Diageo in 1988 and afterward mass-produced and distributed among on-sale locations across the United Kingdom. These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. For those unfamiliar with what it’s like, think of it as similar to college but being more specialized. Today, Oban is said to be the second smallest distillery owned by Diageo when it comes to production capacity, at 870,000 liters per year.I went to my liquor shelf for a much-needed dram, considered my options, and decided to look for a whisky that wouldn’t need much thinking, one that I can maybe enjoy while reading a book (this time, for leisure), watching a series, or even woolgathering.
