Nose: Oban Little Bay whisky reveals maritime and salty notes, followed by aromas of tropical fruit and honey. Mouth: On the palate, this Highland single malt reveals flavors of dried fruit, dark chocolate and sweet spices. Finish: The finish is long and warm, with subtle hints of oak and smoke.
Nose: Notes of subtly spiced cereals, mango, papaya and pea pods. Traces of hard toffee and light oak chips. A drop of water reveals notes of cinnamon brioche and salted caramel.
Mouth: Silky and fluid with an intense taste of sweet butterscotch, a spicy-dry and woody intensity. The addition of water softens the honeyed sweetness of the creamy, smooth Swiss milk chocolate, with just a hint of salt in the mid-palate. The mild spices now keep the sweetness in check.
Finish: Short and rather intense, with spicy chili pepper notes.
