Picked up a bottle of Oban 14-year-old based on an old post by midwinter.
I was expecting more. Seems a little light-bodied for a Highland whisky, a very slight peat flavor (barely noticeable) and a hint of spice. Finishes with a lasting honey aftertaste.
For the most part I like smoothness of the Speyside malts (Macallan Fine Oak comes to mind), may try Balvenie 15-year or the 12-year-old Double Wood next.
edit: Actually one I really want to try is VAT 69 since it's so popular in fiction.
