Oban 14 Years Highland Single Malt Scotch [700ML]

Description

What makes a Highland single malt truly exceptional when it bridges the gap between mainland Scotland and the mystical islands?

Oban 14 Years Highland Single Malt Scotch represents one of Scotland’s most distinctive expressions, crafted at the historic distillery that literally built the town around it since 1794. This West Highland masterpiece uniquely combines the fruity elegance of Highland whiskies with subtle sea-salt influences from the nearby Atlantic, creating a profile unlike any other Scottish region. When comparing premium Highland expressions, discerning collectors often choose between this coastal gem and offerings like The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt or Glenmorangie 12 Years The Original Highland Single Malt.
