Description: This is not a malt for the faint hearted! Alive with peat, smoke and spice this malt is packed with character that will warm the coldest heart.
Tasting Notes: Oban has a sweet, peated nose with nuances of burnt heather, carried through to the palate with just a touch of creaminess.
Method of Production: The distillery is in the town of Oban, taking water from Loch Gleann aBhearraidh. The water is as fresh as a daisy, a daisy with a hint of peat that is. Ground, malted Barley is washed with heated water that is fermented producing a rough beer, this is distilled twice in pot stills to give spirit. Oban is released after 14 years ageing in old Bourbon casks, the point at which the softness added by the casks compliments the spirits gentle salty peatiness.
