Product description
The Oban Distillery is located in the western Scotland town of the same name. It was built in 1794 and is now owned by Diageo.
Little Bay debuted in Travel Retail in late 2014, and its name is a loose translation of the Gaelic word "Oban". The whisky has no age statement, and was blended from spirits aged in refill sherry and bourbon casks, and in refill casks fitted with new bottoms. Before bottling, the whisky was married for several months in small oak casks. In recent years, the single malt Oban has enjoyed increasing popularity, with sales exceeding the magical million-bottle mark for the first time in 2013.
