Oban
Little Bay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
(0.75l, 43%)
Oooops.This bottle isn't on our current list of Home Bar Essentials... but it could be. Add it to your wish list and let us know you want it!
Small casks, small bay, small town. But big Whisky.
Long before Oban was a lovely seaside resort town on the West Coast of Scotland, John and Hugh Stevenson built their first still house there in 1794. So the town literally grew up around the Whisky — we're no city planning experts, but it doesn't sound as a bad way for a town to grow.
The blokes at Oban have only one wash and one spirit still and the Whisky they produce is considered one of the classic malts of Scotland — a virtual national treasure. Oban is in the Highlands, but its position on the far western coast gives their spirit a very unique character.
Oban Little Bay is a bit redundant since the word “oban” already means “little bay” in Scots Gaelic. Like all Oban Whiskies, this is a fine Single Malt. But Little Bay is also their first NAS — which means that it is a combination of their Single Malt across a range of ages that were married in small ex-Bourbon barrels.
Oban Little Bay has all of that lovely coastal character, but with a gentle, heather quality. Sweetness plays with the spice just like cool breeze plays with the warm sun in that small bay.

Enoch,
A fair bottle, but a little to light. More earthy tones would help.
Steven,
Love this scotch. So drinkable
Stu,
This is just not my thing. It has big flavor but it has a metallic finish.
Jacob,
Wonderfully refreshing Scotch. Very fruity with a strong honey finish, one of my favorites thus far!
Rajan,
Very refreshing light flavor and amazingly sippable whisky. My friends and I loved it
