Oban 14yo Little Bay of Caves 43% 700ml information

The Oban 14yo Little Bay of Caves whisky is a remarkable offering from the historic Oban distillery, which was founded in 1794 by the Stevenson brothers. Nestled in the small town of Oban, this distillery is uniquely positioned between the cliffs and the sea, creating a distinctive microclimate that significantly influences the character of its whisky. The limited expansion of the distillery, due to its geographical constraints, has led to high demand for its coveted products. Representing the West Highlands in Diageo's Classic Malts of Scotland, Oban 14 features a mineral and slightly salty character. This 14-year matured single malt boasts a rich and complex flavor profile. On the nose, it opens fresh and fruity with notes of pears, apricots, citrus fruits, and light caramel, accompanied by a salty sea breeze and delicate smoky undertones. The aroma is both engaging and complex with hints of juicy blood oranges, toffee, and fresh tobacco, finished with a coastal touch. The taste is equally intricate, featuring a gentle texture with a slight tingle from freshly ground peppercorns. The palate develops with intense wood influence, bitter walnuts, and a surprising flash of menthol. Maritime notes linger familiarly in the background, complemented by vanilla, honey, coffee, herbs, and spicy wood notes. The whisky's 14-year maturation process, combined with traditional production methods, results in a well-balanced and flavorful single malt. The finish is medium-long, combining sweet, spicy, and smoky elements. A hint of freshly ground pepper, light smoke, herbs, bright fruits, salt, licorice, and spicy oak complete the experience. Despite some criticisms regarding its finish, the Oban 14yo Little Bay of Caves whisky remains an easy-drinking dram loved by many whisky enthusiasts.
