Fresh Highland Flavour with Warm, Welcoming Depth

Oban is known for producing whiskies with a confident Highland personality, and this 12-year-old expression stays true to that style. American oak ex-bourbon barrels help shape its fresh, fruity character while adding a smooth layer of sweetness and gentle warmth.

The higher strength gives the whisky extra presence, allowing its character to shine through whether enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water. Adding water can soften the intensity and open up further aromas, making it easy to explore the dram at your own pace.
