I love this. One thing that I look for in a good scotch, is the finish smooth. I have had some that were great until the end were they finished on the harsh side. This is great all around.

Sweet and delicate with a nice balanced hint of peat. Worth spending a bit more to get the 18 year and a bit more oak influence.

I prefer the Oban 14 and the Oban 18 over this. The Distiller's Edition is decent, a little more peaty than the aged bottles. This is a very drinkable scotch and I think folks that prefer a little more peat will enjoy it more than the aged bottles. My palate tends to run more to the sherry side, so recognize that affects my rating.

This is the good stuff. So enjoyably complex. Super sweet nose, peach, caramel and sweet cherry. The taste completely twists though, tart and tangy apples and cherries hits hard at the front, but then comes a salty, briny, and light peat flavor that really lingers even after finishing. The best part is the dryness that is there throughout the taste. Like a Tempranillo wine dry that helps the flavor flow from tang to salty peat.

Wow... Update...still wow, but this is best, in my opinion, slightly chilled in a Peugeot glass with some water

Definitely an excellent bottle! My one complaint is that I can by the same bottle for significantly less in NH. Serves me right that going forward I will need to compare. That being said, I have seen many other bottles that were a bit cheaper or on par with what I would by here.

Strong red apple aroma with hints of white flowers and honey. A bit sweet in the mouth, with a salty and drying finish

This is one of my favorites. Absolutely stunning. Complexity is through the roof. So much going on. The most complex scotch I've had, bar none. Must try for everyone.

If you’ve been to Oban, this whisky captures the spirit of the town. Honeysweet, a little salty tidewater. Just the kind of drink to transport me to that little fishing town.

Drop dead favorite, perfect balance of smooth and peaty. Like you’re drinking spicy butter!

Mike, Oct 20, 2019

Very smooth whisky! Not smoky like I usually enjoy, but definitely one of my favs!

Thomas, Oct 7, 2019

Low smoke. Slight sweetness and smooth. What you would expect from Oban.

Kurt, Aug 7, 2019

Oban’s complexity really shines with a hint of peat, salt, and spice.

Alexander, May 28, 2019

Great single malt with nice balance between smoke and softness

Brett, Apr 1, 2019

Maybe I got a bad bottle or something, but this literally tasted like murky pond water. Was it sitting out in the Sahara sun for 10 hours during the shipment?

guest, Mar 24, 2019

Citrus, salty and sweet. Great power at the end.

Andrew, Mar 4, 2019

Wish I had more. Sad I don't have more.

Casey, Jun 10, 2018

Truely a smooth scotch whiskey! Beautiful amber gold color, Dry and sweet almost fruity notes to it. Smooth slow tingle of toasted black cherries on the tail of the drink. But all in all 9 stars for i am a realist and i have not met my 10 star whiskey yet! But Oban makes a damn close rock hard 9!

Keith, May 30, 2018

My favorite of the Highland whiskeys. At first taste I thought the flavors were a bit muted but the more I drank the more flavors shines through. Not as overpowering smoke flavor as the Lagavulin 16 or Caol Ila 12. It’s a more mature complex flavors. It’s easy to pick up a number of different flavors and find something new with each sip.

Alon, May 28, 2018

A really smooth scotch with equal mixture sweet and salty. I can also taste the wood in a really nice way. A fantastic blend, and a very easy scotch to enjoy.

Amy, May 2, 2018

I love the salty taste

Russ, Apr 28, 2018

Brought 2 bottles back from a vacation in The highlands. This is a very fine example of Highland Malt. Love this whisky

Daniel, Jan 26, 2018

I like this much more than standard Oban.

Alon, Jan 20, 2018
