    Had my first dram of this one in Oban, on the harbor, over a plate of fish & chips. Fantastic dram, sentimental connection aside it's still one of my favorites. Cheers guys.

      It’s amazing how a sentiment can make a flavor increase on your palate. This one not included.

    This is my favorite Scotch. I think I’m on my 4th bottle of it now. I visited Oban on my trip to Scotland in 2016, however I wasn’t into Scotch yet, only having some of the Glen Livet and Tomintoul at the time.
    I discovered it summer of 2020. Today I purchased Oban 18 and saving that for a special occasion. I think I’ll pick up the little bay Oban and do a tasting of the three in one setting.
    Last month I traveled to my sister’s in another state and I didn’t take any of my whiskeys with me, so I picked up a 14 and brought it to a cookout she was having for Memorial day. I opened it up and shared it wit people there; people who didn’t drink Scotch, or only Bourbon, and those who didn’t drink either. It was a hit. We nearly finished the bottle. I think that’s a good sign of a good whiskey. The most important being that it was drank amongst old and new friends, and not just sitting on a self.
    Cheers!

    I always love sipping along with your reviews. I couldn't agree more on the nosing notes. I get an almost tropical fruitiness too. The brine on palate is the real gem in this whisky along with a hint of smoke. I find this a very accessible whisky indeed. Solid review as always. Thank you.

    This was my first whiskey i ever bought/drank. I did not like it at first (having me worried i just wasted 50 euro). But I wasn't discouraged and kept trying and then it really grew on me and I started to actually taste things other than the burning alchohol I used to in the beginning. And now I've tried various different whisky and I can say I liked them all. (well except Johny walker red label haha)
    So Oban 14 will always be special to me... actually want to pick it up again now ^^

    I had the privilege to taste the Oban 21 a few years ago at a friend's bachelor party. It was extremely smooth and easy to sip. It had almost a buttery, salt, caramel, fruit and herb taste.
    Seeing as I can't really justify spending $700 on a bottle of whisky I will just continue to buy the 14 or 18 as they are both wonderful and so smooth.

    I just tasted Oban 14 for the first time while watching your video. I expected it to be more smoky than it smells or tastes and was initially a little disappointed. Nonetheless, it reveals a smooth, rich and complex taste. It s one of those you can relax with. Having had a bit of a munch between the two pours I had, it really changed the taste : a little more smoke, honey, and nutty flavours. I expect my impressions could vary greatly from day to day. Anyhow I will enjoy going back to this Oban 14. Cheers for your great work !

    Someone please tell me how ANY Scotch (like Macallan 50 Year Old Single Malt) can sell for $117,437.99 There is no human on earth that taste that much of an extreme difference to justify that price tag. This is not a rhetorical question. I really want a logical answer.

    I'm opening my bottle of this tomorrow and can't wait to compare it to my only other bottle of scotch for now, The Glenlivet 15. Think it will be a learning experience, as I am a very amateur scotch drinker. They seem only somewhat different in ways, but quite different in others from reviews I've read and watched.

    • @Themilkmanskid.
      @Themilkmanskid. 2 роки тому

      Opened another bottle of Oban 14 about a week ago. I really like the smoky note and the fact that it isn't sweet like many others can be. I tasted the sea in this too, also got a bit of sulphur, and could taste the wood of the cask too. I am very amateur at scotch tasting still, but I can get quite a lot out of this dram compared to the others I have had, at least for now.

    Very basic whiskey imo. The sweetness dissappears pretty quickly and you are left with pretty much oak and bitter lemon. And i havent felt any smoke. Feels like a middle ground between speyside and highland whiskeys. So it seems like we have drank different whiskeys completely:)))
