Oban Little Bay is the distillery's most approachable and accessible expression — and one with a name that tells a story. The word "Oban" already means "little bay" in Scots Gaelic, making Little Bay something of a doubly appropriate name for this NAS expression from one of Scotland's most beloved coastal distilleries. Whisky matured individually in refill American oak hogsheads, ex-European oak sherry hogsheads, and refill casks with new ends is blended and then married further in 200-liter former bourbon barrels — the smallest casks the distillery uses — creating a whisky with more wood contact and a distinctly different character from the flagship 14 Year. Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2016, the nose brings toasty biscuit, citrus, and vanilla with linseed oiled chamois leather and lavender, while the palate delivers brown bread crust, richly fruity malt loaf, clove and cinnamon spice with zesty orange, crushed mint and lavender. Orange rind, cloves, a whiff of sea salt, and vanilla carry through beautifully — an easy, elegant introduction to the Oban style. Bottled at 43% ABV.
