Whiskies from 'Oban Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Oban Distillery.

• Oban 14 Years Old

Classic, gentle and pleasing. A consensual malt. Good match with salmon and light seafood dishes.

• Oban 14 Years Old Distillers Edition

• Oban 20 Years Old

The nose is very distinguished and floaty. The palate is a bit too assertive because of the high strength. Requires oxygenation and water.

• Oban Distillers Edition, Montilla

Demonstrably an evocative whisky. Salty and winey, but neither as overt as in the comparable Glenmorangie Fino.
