Words of Whisky (83)

Nose: orange peel and lots of malty notes. Light honey, hints of figs. There is the obligatory salty edge as well, but less prominent than in the regular Oban 14 for instance (it’s coming from the Oban location, not the Fino). Mouth: again a fairly malty start, with rounder notes of grapes and stewed fruits from the wine. Hints of butterscotch. Light peppery notes. Finish: medium long, drier, nuttier, with some coffee and soft spices.
I think the typical Oban character stands out more in the regular expressions. However this is simply a fine release.
