Oban Little Bay 43% 100CL
Oban is one of the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland. It was founded in 1794, and the West Highland port town of the same name has grown up around the distillery. It is the only Scottish single malt 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 whisky owes its rich and rewarding Highland character to its very long fermentation process. The small, lamp-shaped copper stills that produce Oban Scotch are among the smallest in Scotland, and the liquor they distill is slowly condensed in outdoor wooden tanks between rooftops, exposed to the salty sea air, bringing a distinct depth of flavor. it is said to go very well with salted caramel. Oban Little Bay, 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 just a hint of salt: Oban enhances the rich complexity of character of humble meat dishes, such as steaks and kidney pie. A good all-rounder, it makes a great gift for an absolute beginner or avid whiskey enthusiast to explore Highland single malts known for being rich in flavor and aroma.
