Once part of their travel retail collection, Oban's Little Bay has now joined the core range as a 70cl bottling. Master Blenders Dr. Matthew Crow and Dr. Craig Wilson craft this expression using whisky matured in refill American oak hogsheads, European oak Sherry casks, and refill casks with new ends. The resulting single malt whisky is then allowed to marry in small oak casks. On the nose, it offers aromas of dried apple chips, floral herbs, chopped mint, candied orange, and a hint of milky coffee. The palate features notes of fancy chocolates with sea salt flakes, pound cake topped with demerara sugar and cinnamon, with citrus reappearing on the mid-palate. The finish is spiced with cinnamon and ginger.
