Oban Little Bay Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

Oban Little Bay Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinctive expression from one of Scotland’s smallest and most historic distilleries. Founded in 1794, Oban sits nestled between the cliffs and the sea on Scotland’s western coast, producing whisky that perfectly bridges Highland richness with coastal maritime influence. Little Bay, named after the distillery’s hometown of Oban (which translates to “little bay” in Gaelic), highlights the brand’s craftsmanship on a more intimate scale.

To create this expression, Oban’s master distillers select small batches of whisky matured in a combination of refill casks, rejuvenated oak, and European oak sherry casks. These hand-selected casks are then married in small oak vats, a process that allows the flavors to integrate gradually and harmoniously. The result is a whisky that reflects Oban’s signature style—rich, layered, and approachable—while offering a unique depth not always found in standard age-statement releases.

Oban Little Bay carries the distillery’s hallmark maritime DNA, where a gentle coastal brine complements malty sweetness, subtle oak, and warming spice. Bottled at 43% ABV, it delivers balance and character in equal measure, making it a versatile single malt suited for both enthusiasts and those discovering Oban for the first time.

Presented in Oban’s classic bottle design with labeling that underscores its connection to place, Little Bay has become a favorite among fans seeking something distinct yet unmistakably Oban. It is more than just a no-age-statement single malt—it is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the intimate scale of one of Scotland’s most beloved coastal distilleries.
