Oban 14 Years Old Scotch Whisky
Oban 14 Years Old is a 750mL Highland single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof), aged for 14 years in refill and re-charred casks at Oban Distillery — the small coastal distillery founded in 1794 around which the West Highland harbour town of Oban grew up. It is the distillery's classic expression: a full-bodied malt where Highland fruit and honey meet a dry smokiness and a breath of the sea. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Classic Malt of the Harbour Town
Oban sits where the Highlands meet the sea, and the 14 Year Old tastes of both: the distillery was founded by the Stevenson brothers in 1794 and still works in the middle of town, a short walk from the fishing boats. Fourteen years in refill and re-charred casks polish the spirit without burying it, keeping the malt's fruit and honey up front while the coastal dryness builds behind. It has been the reference Oban for a generation of single-malt drinkers. See the range on the Oban vendor page, or browse our Scotch whisky collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the distillery: flavours of rich fruits and honeyed spice, a full body, a smoky dryness through the middle, and a whiff of sea salt on the finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass, or with a few drops of water to open the fruit and honey; it is a natural partner for oysters and other shellfish. More Highland single malts are in our whisky collection.
