Oban 14 Year Old

Oban 14-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished expression from the Oban Distillery, one of Scotland's oldest and smallest distilleries, established in 1794. Situated in the coastal town of Oban, this distillery uniquely bridges the gap between the Western Highlands and the Islands, influencing the whisky's distinctive character.
