Oban Little Bay Obsession and help?

RoriRants

Hello!!  This is my first post here--hiya folks!

I'm an "intermediate" whisky (and whiskey) drinker, but new to this site. I recently picked up Oban Little Bay, and have developed a stupendous obsession with it. I would like to be able to--but cannot--explain this properly. Little Bay tastes like ozone, salt, petrichor, and nostalgia to me. Something about it just feels comfortable and familiar. Like a rainy day at the seaside cottage you've lived in for 40 years. I realize how intangible that description is, and I've never felt like this about a whisk(e)y.

I want to keep exploring single malt (bc I've been bitten HARD by the bug), but I cant seem to find something similar to Little Bay. The local stores near to me are not well versed in single malts (?!!) and can't provide info. Can y'all recommend something else that tastes similar?  (I did recently get Bunnahabhain 12, and that was a huge hit for me, but not in the same way as Little Bay)

Thanks muches!!

Cheers!
