Oban Little Bay 43% 100CL

Oban is one of the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland. It was founded in 1794, and the West Highlands port town of the same name has grown up around the distillery. It is the only Single Malt Scotch Whisky in which the rich, complex flavors of the Highlands meet and mingle with the peaty, maritime character of the islands. Balancing autumn fruits and sea air, Oban whiskey owes its rich and rewarding Highlands character to the very long fermentation process. The tiny, lamp-shaped copper stills that produce Oban Scotch are among the smallest in Scotland, and the liquor they distill is slowly condensed in wooden tanks between rooftops, exposed to the salty sea air, imparting a distinct depth of flavor that is said to marry very well with salted caramel. Oban Little Bay, due to the unique process of blending the whiskies in our smallest casks (American Standard Barrels), allows for greater interaction, thus offering a fruity richness and distinctly deep smoothness with the distillery's signature character of citrus and sea salt. Light, smoky and with a hint of salt, Oban brings out the rich complexity of character in humble meat dishes such as steak and kidney pie. It makes a great gift for an absolute beginner or for a whiskey aficionado who wants to explore Highland Single Malt Whiskies, known for their richness of flavor and aroma.
