They were relentless opposites; one, with a bright orange coat, possessed the Highland's gift for lightness and speed. The other, dark as smoke, possessed the Isles' camouflaged mystique. Each fox contrasted and skillfully balanced the other. At Oban distillery, the dual light and darkness of our sly siblings springs from the amber dram, a distinctive dynamic of opposing energies: the Highlands and the Isles in perfect harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the smallest and oldest distilleries in Scotland, Oban has stood fast in the coastal town that bears its name since 1794, described often as the gateway between the Highlands and the Isles. Distilled a mere 208 steps from the sea, its rich and citrussy Highland character is buttressed with the maritime brine and a whisper of the peat of the Isles. This sweet-natured Scotch stirs bright-eyed, nose keen with smooth, sweet chilli. Maritime aromas offer contrast, with seaweed, crystal salt and black pepper. Lightly oily, it soon shades the palate with a pinch of spice from fresh-charred casks. Crunchy oak spice, a dark toffee-apple sweetness and a lengthy, peppery finish harmonise in this lush tale of light and dark. A taste of duelling styles; Highland Orange with a whisper of Island Salt \u0026amp; smoke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at 56.2% from ex-bourbon and refill American oak casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Finer Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Scotch Whisky\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Scotland\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Highlands\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size - 700ml\u003cbr\u003eABV - 56.2%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KC0125","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41408005079103,"sku":"BOX1OBAL3","price":179.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/oban-12-year-old-special-releases-2021-700ml_1000x1000_6562d1a3-1199-4196-adc8-0e48f4b0d768.webp?v=1737267424"},{"product_id":"oban-14-year-old-west-highlands-malt-whisky-700ml","title":"Oban 14 Year Old West Highlands Malt Whisky 700mL","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Balvenie Stories collection celebrates the heritage of craftsmanship and dedication at Balvenie across generations.
