Classic Highland single malt with a kiss of sea salt
This classic 14-year-old single malt bridges the intense peat of the Islay malts and the lighter, fruitier style of the Highlands. It delivers a beautifully balanced palate of rich orange zest, gentle sea salt, and a lingering wispy trail of heather smoke.

Oban was established by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson in 1794, making it one of Scotland's oldest active distilleries. Located in the heart of the coastal frontier town of Oban, the distillery's physical footprint is permanently limited by the surrounding cliffs, ensuring that its production remains small, traditional, and highly sought-after.
The Oban Distillery & rickhouse was founded in 1794 in the bustling port town of the same name, which actually grew around the distillery itself. Known for its tiny capacity and exceptionally slow distillation, it uses traditional wooden worm tubs to condense its precious spirit, imparting a unique heavy, oily texture.
