Oban Little Bay

Oban Little Bay is a small-batch single malt that brings together the refined craftsmanship of one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries with the distinct character of coastal maturation. Named after the Gaelic translation of “Oban,” meaning “little bay,” this expression is crafted in small oak casks to develop a rich, rounded flavor with pronounced maritime influence. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky that captures the interplay of soft fruit, gentle peat, and briny sea air.

Perfect for those seeking a nuanced, approachable dram with just the right amount of coastal complexity, Oban Little Bay is an elegant reflection of its seaside origins.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fresh citrus, soft malt, sea spray, and light floral notes with a hint of brine.

• Palate: Ripe apple, caramel, gentle peat smoke, and subtle salinity layered over smooth malt.

• Finish: Long and clean, with lingering citrus zest, vanilla, and a warm touch of oak.

Why It’s Special:
Oban Little Bay stands out for its use of small cask finishing, which intensifies flavor concentration and elevates the whisky’s complexity. Its combination of light smokiness, fruit, and maritime notes makes it both accessible and distinctive—an ideal gateway into Oban’s signature style.
