The Oban Distillery team have crafted Oban Little Bay by selecting small batches of their finest single malt whiskies, combining them in their smallest casks. This unique process - which increases the expose of the liquid to the cask wood - combined with the expert nose and palate of Malt Master Dr. Matthew Crow, delivers a classic rich, smooth Oban expression. This whisky is rich and fruity in typical Oban style, but with a more pronounced maritime and citrus character than the distillery's signature 14 Year Old whisky.Charles Maclean's official tasting notes:Burnished copper in colour. A faintly oily nose, with brine, dried seaweed, sanded teak, and trace of fresh apples. At full strength the texture is oily and full-bodied; sweet overall, slightly salty, spicy across the tongue and in the finish; well-balanced, with lingering warmth and an aftertaste of almond cake.
