OBAN 西高地與島嶼區之間的邊境
奧本是西高地與島嶼區之間的邊境。其氣候溫和，有墨西哥暖流加溫，並以崎嶇不平的自然美著稱。奧本毗鄰海灣，島嶼區以含鹽海風聞名，但它和細雨一樣溫柔，滋潤出這個魚村茂盛的環境。
地區: 蘇格蘭，西高地 始創於: 1794
APPEARANCE : Olive gold.
BODY : A full, rich, almost oily malt.
NOSE : Immediate and confident; rapidly gaining intensity. Warming and sweet: oily, waxy and nutty, balanced by delicate ripe orchard fruits. Then, lighter notes of an almondy fruit cake sit atop a denser layer of Christmas pudding. Behind, malty cereal notes are offset by aromatic orange. Much later: traces of brine and smoke, a little menthol and pine resin.
PALATE : Dense and coating, spicy too; sweet, yet menthol- fresh. Filling and warming, with the comforting chewiness of rich fruit-bread and hints of orange zest and clove, before growing drier, still minty, with crisp green apple. Less dense and fruitier with just a little water, which allows the classic Oban fruit, malt, and maritime hints free reign until the balancing, drying spice returns.
