Oban

Oban
14 Year Old West Highland Malt, 43% vol

Appearence:
Amber

Aroma:
Medium pungency and rich overall.
(Straight) Cognac-like, with some sulphur and a whiff of peat. Sulphur disappears, and the spirit becomes sweeter (icing sugar) with some acetone and seaside salt.
(Dilute) These aromas remain when water is added, but reduced. Some bubblegum and a light hessian scent. Fresh and faintly floral (bog myrtle).

Flavour:
Medium mothfeel, smooth; easy to drink, with a good balance of primary flavours. Starts sweet, engages the whole palate and finishes dry, with faint but distinct peat- smoke in the finish.

Development:
Mulch, chicken mash.
