It's been over 200 years since the first drops of whisky were distilled in the seaside town of Oban. The Oban 12 Year Old marries the distillery's classic maritime character with a pronounced influence from ex-bourbon barrels. Notes of syrupy peaches, spice and honey combine in harmony with Oban's classic sea breeze charm. It's been over 200 years since the first drops of whisky were distilled in the seaside town of Oban.
