Oban Little Bay Single Malt

Oban750 ml43% ABV

Coastal highland malt finished in small oak casks

This rich highland single malt is married in small oak casks to create a deeper, more complex expression of the classic distillery style. It balances seaside saltiness and gentle smoke with deep notes of orchard fruit, honey, and warm spice.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1794 by the Stevenson brothers, John and Hugh, Oban is one of Scotland's oldest and smallest active distilleries. Located in the coastal frontier between the West Highlands and the Islands, the distillery's growth sparked the development of the vibrant town of Oban itself.

How it is made

The Oban distillery & rickhouse has stood at the heart of its coastal town since 1794, marrying maritime influence with highland character. Little Bay is uniquely finished in small-batch casks to accelerate wood integration and deepen the spirit's complexity.
