Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
The whisky presents itself in a lustrous amber hue, almost reminiscent of autumn leaves, capturing the eye and inviting the palate.
Nose (Aroma):
The olfactory experience begins with a robust, yet balanced, array of aromatics. Sea salt and seaweed provide an unmistakable maritime character, harmoniously married to notes of zesty orange peel and wisps of smoke.
Palate (Taste):
True to its maritime heritage, Oban 14 Year offers a remarkable tapestry of flavors. A warm, early palate of malt sweetness and nuanced citrus is balanced by mid-palate notes of dry oak and whispers of peat. Hints of black pepper and dried fruit provide an additional layer of intricacy.
Finish:
The finish is lingering, tinged with subtle smokiness and a slightly briny character. A trace of sweetness remains as an afterthought, leaving the palate both satisfied and intrigued.
Mouthfeel:
The texture is as complex as its flavor profile—smooth, yet robust; delicate, yet assertive.
