Oban is Gaelic for "little bay" so apparently this scotch is named Little Bay Little Bay. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, it worked out well for the Ferrari LaFerrari. The nose includes sweet fruit, orange peel, smoke, butterscotch, and flowers. The palate is a rich balance between sweet fruits & flowers and smoke & peat, before finishing with some medicinal notes, sea water, and pepper. It takes a few sips to get a feel for this complex whisky. This whisky is difficult to figure out at first. It's not quite a sweet highlands scotch, but it's also not a smokey islands malt. Ultimately, I think Oban strikes a great balance between the two and the longer you sit with it the more flavors you will keep finding.
