Send Custom Engraved Single Malt Gift Online | OBAN SCOTCH SINGLE MALT SMALL CASK LITTLE BAY
Dark amber in color, Oban Little Bay has a rich and vibrant malty nose with dried apple, dried plums, caramel, honey, allspice, and oak. There�s a solid balance between the rich and spicy characteristics. The entry is very flavorful and expressive, matching the nose quite well with toasted malt, green apple, dried apricot, salt, chocolate, and orange peel. In the midpalate the real impact of the small cask finish is quite apparent as the spice elements noticeably increase with clove and oak without abandoning the sweet dried fruit underneath. After the peak of the midpalate, Oban Little Bay backs off quite a bit for a lightly acidic and slightly spicy finish. It�s a fairly light and slightly dry finish that ends fairly clean. Side by side with Oban 14, Oban Little Bay does a good job of holding its own. Oban 14 has a richer, deeper mouthfeel, spicier midpalate and longer, stronger finish, but Oban Little Bay adds more complexity to the mix. It�s slightly sweeter, more fruity, and better balanced. While the finish on Little Bay is a little drier than we prefer, it�s a perfect example of how taking the handcuffs off on age allows a blender to create a new, complex, balanced, and interesting product.
