 Since we started the podcast, we’ve already reviewed four different brands of whiskey. Our taste buds are more refined. Our noses are sharper. But our taste has remained the same.  In our latest review, we’re checking out one of Reggie’s favorites – the Oban 14.  Unlike the other whiskeys we tried so far, the Oban falls on the fancy side.
