This s a classic. You can't go wrong with this Oban. It's mild enough for those new to whisky, as well as complex enough for the seasoned. It appeals to beer drinkers as well as wine connoisseurs. I had a sample of this at Ming this eve for my niece's sweet 16. (No, the kids were allowed only water and soda. I bought this on my own) My cousin, who has never had whisky, loved it, as well as my other cousin who is a seasoned veteran. I'm going to keep this one at home for guests and friends. Its broad spectrum will appeal to all.
