I had never heard of it either. It was fifty bucks. I want to save it for something special but having never sampled it, that could go horribly wrong pretty quickly! It had nice color so I just threw it the cart! I will keep you posted.
Normal retail is around $65 for that. It’s a Highland single malt scotch.
While Oban has been distilling for over two hundred years, their geographic restraints have kept them from growing into a truly giant place of production. They introduced the No Age Statement Oban Little Bay to their line in 2015. The Scottish Gaelic name for the town, An t-Òban, means “little bay”. The single malt is blended in 200 liter ex-bourbon barrels, the smallest barrels available at the distillery.
Reviews say that that is reminiscent of an Island malt where the influence of brine is present but mixed with a light floral and vegetable sense among a well integrated nose and palate. There’s a nice little zip at the end with the spice. Somewhat like a saltwater toffee.
