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.

Accidental favorite

Ran through a long list of scotch whiskeys while working in Scotland--a large part outdoors-- one long winter years ago. First time whiskey-- of any kind-- made sense: in that cold, dark, cloudy/rainy winter. Back in the U.S. my whiskey preferences narrowed, driven by price and availability. Ran into Oban again and drinking it reminded me why I liked it in the first place: it was just pleasant to drink. Not a test of manhood or of refined taste that could, say, identify the exact Scotland bog that yielded the peat that defined its character. Was delighted when found out that Third Base carried it and at a reasonable price (compared to what I could find elsewhere for it or any number of other imported Scotch whiskeys). The delivery was really fast even though I'm on the other side of the continent. Impressive service. Favorite whiskey arrived in well executed protective packaging. These guys know what they're doing.
