The Oban 14yo Little Bay of Caves whisky is a premium offering from the esteemed Oban Distillery in the Highlands region, presented in a convenient 200ml bottle with an ABV of 43%. This whisky is renowned for its intricate and multi-layered flavor profile, beginning with a confident and warming nose that is both sweet and oily. You are greeted by a balanced mix of waxy, nutty, and ripe orchard fruits intermixed with malty cereal notes and aromatic orange. As the aroma evolves, traces of brine, smoke, menthol, and pine resin come to the fore. The palate of this whisky is dense and coating, delivering a spicy kick followed by a sweet, menthol-fresh finish. The taste evokes rich fruit-bread with hints of orange zest and clove. Adding a little water makes the whisky less dense and fruitier, allowing the classic Oban fruit, malt, and maritime hints to shine through. The finish of the Oban 14yo Little Bay of Caves whisky is long and syrupy, with elegant coating tannins that exhibit a rich dark chocolate character. The finish is both cleansing and chewy, with a trace of late, slightly cedary smoke. Overall, this whisky stands out for its complexity and balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky notes, making it a memorable and enjoyable sipping experience. This solid standard is round, balanced, and quite complex for its age, appreciated for its very tasty profile.
