Show Notes:
Oban 14 year old Scotch
Oban has been distilling scotch for over 200 years. It is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Located on the west Highlands on the coast.
The partly germinated barley is dried in a kiln with a light peat smoke to give it its distinctive taste and character. Oban has a smoky, malty dryness in taste and finish.
On the Flavor Map, Oban is almost right in the middle between the four quadrants.
Appearance: Olive gold
Nose: Some peat and sea.
Body: Full and rich
Palate: Dry, mild, smoke
Finish: Long, smooth, dry
Overall a very good single malt Scotch.

Flavor Map
I was reading in malt.com and found a flavor map. This map has four quadrants based upon tastes – smoky, rich, delicate, and light. It has different single mal scotches ranked by taste. Great way to help you select similar single malts to ones you like. See where your favorite scotch lands. Save this chart to your computer and add other scotches you like and taste to it.
Have fun and enjoy the scotch.

Ardmore Scotch Whisky Distillery
This distillery was founded in 1898. It has been in production ever since. Most of its product is used in blended Scotch and is a component of Teacher's Highland Cream. Located in the hills of Aberdeenshire, it takes its water from 14 springs in Knockandy Hills. Until recently it has been heating its stills with coal. Now it uses steam.
There have been private bottling of its single malt Scotch and occasionally a bottling by the distiller. But it has never been available from the distiller in the U.S. until now. This month you may be able to find Ardmore Traditional Cask single malt whisky.
I hope to find some for myself.
