The Tasting Notes

Nose

Dry yet mild in feel, with very light prickle, and immediately inviting, with warm honeyed spice, as the cask influence lends a rich, sweet-spicy depth to clean, fresh maritime Oban aromas that suggest a sea breeze, sand dunes and edible seaweed.

Palate

A smooth, creamy texture introduces a sweetly welcoming and fruity “down home” taste, evoking tinned peaches in syrup, which becomes notably spicy towards the finish.

Finish

A good length, finishing warmly spicy.

Details

Toffee and spice warmly embrace notes of citrus and sea breeze.

Matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks.

Journey beyond convention, to explore sweeter depths of signature taste.

The comfort of home draws you back, like a warm welcome after a long journey. Like the highland gull that flies far but always returns. This is the taste of coming home. Maturation in ex-bourbon casks makes for an expression that is deeply warm, sweet and rich in character.

Discover delicious notes of sweet home baking and salty sea air. The American oak enriches fresh, fruity house style with the taste of tinned syrupy peaches and warm spices. Honeyed flavours notes marry with signature maritime style for a taste that brings the heart and soul of a harbour we call home.

In brief - a straightforwardly inviting malt with excellent distillery character, made even more welcoming by sweet fruit and spice.
