Oban Little Bay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Oban Little Bay is a refined single malt Scotch whisky crafted on the rugged west coast of Scotland in one of the country’s oldest and smallest distilleries, established in 1794. This West Highland coastal malt undergoes an extra maturation in Oban’s smallest oak casks, intensifying its flavor and enriching its signature smoothness.

The result is a deep and layered whisky with a maritime influence—true to its roots between cliff and coast. The use of small stills and copper contact enhances richness, while slow distillation and additional cask aging deliver complexity in every sip.
