Love Oban! Maybe perhaps not as much as Laphroaig or Glenmorangie 18 year Extra Rare, but definitely up there! My boss at my last job used to buy me a bottle of this every year for Xmas. The only thing I miss about that job. Ha!

I completely agree with your review. While Oban is not the most complex single malt available, this is not to be regarded as a flaw. It is flawless. Smooth, warming with citrus, lemon and orange rind on the palate. And that finish is oh so so long!

$77? i live in UT where they have the most strict laws on alcohol and it was $55 per 750ml. but I agree, this is top notch scotch.

Oban 14 close to being the top selling single malt in the US and I think that you’ve done a pretty good job of describing why. Btw, it is produced in a batch style, not single barrel. If you’re looking for something that’s somewhat similar, but a lot cheaper, I highly recommend Glen Garioch 8. Around where I live, in MA, it usually goes for less than 25$. It’s a great whisky, one favourites. Like Oban it has a smooth chocolate fruit taste and a hint of smoke.

Wow. I am totally jealous of you. Shouldn’t we be the ones getting the private tours? When is it going to be our time?! Anyway, I’m glad you like Oban 14-year. It has been one of my favorites for quite some time. I should reitorate that the bottle we tested and reviewed was a particularly awesome bottle though.

Oban 14 year old has been my absolute favorite single malt for many years now. Just a couple of weeks ago, I showed up at the distillery on a visit to Scotland from Canada. The last tour had already gone through, and they were closing. When I explained that I had arrived from away and that just being there was like a religious experience for me, they so very kindly gave me a private tour. I saw the stills and the new batch of mash that was just started a few days prior. Then back in the front area, they gave me a couple of drams of this fine, fine drink. It was the best day of my life!!!!!
