Oban 1987 Distiller's Edition OB

Oban 14 Year Old

Nose: sweet and smokey Body: Full-flavored and assertive but not over robust. Smoke flows throughout. Palate: Slight bite, but the smooth smokey sweet taste blends into an equally tasteful finish. Smoke lingers slightly in the palate for a few seconds. Unlike Bowmore, this whiskey does not overwhelm you with smoke.

Score 75/100

I love the tall straight bottle which pours quite a dark amber liquor, although the colour of the whisky might be exaggerated by the contrast...
