Following distillation, Oban 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged for 14 years in oak casks. During this beautyrest, the whisky is touched by its unique environment and geography — the warm, salty Gulf Stream and mild, temperate climate of Oban are reflected in the whisky. As a result of the distillery's unique stills and geography, the whisky has an olive gold color and a rich, sweet aroma filled with lemons, pears and oranges, as well as sea-salt and a light peatiness. The palate is full-bodied and extremely dry, with notes of dried figs and honey, and leads to a soft, oaky finish.
