Oban 14 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml
Oban 14 Year Old represents the West Highlands within Diageo's Classic Malts series, distilled at Oban Distillery, founded in 1794 in the small fishing town of Oban, a distillery so central to the town that it was built around it rather than the other way around. Matured in ex-bourbon refill American oak hogshead casks, this whisky bridges the maritime, lightly smoky character of coastal Scotch with the malty sweetness typical of Highland whisky, using production methods largely unchanged since the distillery's founding.
