Reviewed January 24, 2019 (edited September 21, 2019)Very light dram. A fruity and strong vanilla smell that one can find over the tasting. Not very strong and thus it makes it a good whisky for starters or people who like fruity lowland kind. Nevertheless, I liked it even though I wanted a more full bodied dram -
Really fruity and sweet smell (maybe chocolate?), not a lot of peat at the nose but a smell of dirt or fresh grass. A lot of legs in the glass but quick to come back down. First taste salty but light despite the 43%. Second taste one can feel the peat coming over and it's round and oily aspects slowly lifting and dancing on the tongue. Adding a small drop of water the lighter smell reminds a cold sea and a hidden touch of dark chocolate or blond coffee. The next tastes let the salt and seaweed mistress along with the fruit and pepper, vanilla behind the oily and maybe a nut texture. First time with the Oban 14. really loved the smell and recommends it for shores whisky's amateurs40.0 USD per Bottle
