Finish: Long and lively, with elegant dark chocolate tannins, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and lingering tropical fruit
Proof: 86 (43% ABV)
Awards/Reviews
94 Points, Tried & True - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"Aromas of buttered toast and lightly smoked grains are enticing. Soft on the palate, flavors gently unfurl with flamed citrus peel, crunchy toasted almonds, and sea spray. The flavors are balanced as they evolve in the mouth. The endless finish is a nice touch."

"Finally, an unimpeachable counterpoint to the rally cry against no age statement whisky. Oban Little Bay is everything that Oban 14 is, and more. A rich, fruity, malty nose showcases dried apricot, dark chocolate, and salt. On the palate, Little Bay explodes with flavor, combining malt with orange, chocolate, and blackberry. Clove and oak spice join the party in the mid-palate, which shows superb balance and integration. A long, slightly dry, citrusy spice finish caps off a stunning whisky."
