« This review is also available in Dutch »
- Colour
Olive gold
- Nose
Rich sweetness and fruits - oranges, lemons and pears, with sea-salt and peaty smokiness.
- Palate
Mouth-filling late autumn fruits - dried figs and honey-sweet spices; followed by a smoky malty dryness.
- Finish
Long, smooth-sweet finish with oak-wood, dryness and a grain of salt.
- Conclusion
A combination of light smoke, medium richness and appetising spice.
- Note
-
A bustling seaside resort has grown up around Oban distillery in the two centuries since it set up home in a fishing village. The West Highland single malt is still produced in the same unhurried, traditional fashion.
