Oban Special Releases 2025 Heart of the Harbour 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70 cl 54.7%

Oban Special Release 2025 Heart of the Harbour is a classic 12-year-old Oban, matured exclusively in American oak ex-bourbon casks. This gives a clean and full-bodied style with emphasis on the malt’s fruitiness and the cask’s vanilla character.

Oban 12 Year Old Special Release 2025 is an exclusive single malt from the legendary Oban Distillery, bottled at natural cask strength and part of Diageo’s sought-after Special Releases series. This Highland whisky offers a complex and maritime flavour profile, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts.

The nose opens with sea salt, fresh breeze and a hint of dried seaweed, balanced by green apples, pear and soft vanilla from the oak. On the palate, you’ll find smooth malt sweetness, baked apple, toffee and subtle wood spice. The signature sea breeze and gentle smoke linger in the background, rounded off with a touch of pepper.

The finish is warm and medium-long with notes of oak, fruit and a whisper of smoke. Best enjoyed neat for full flavour depth, or with a few drops of water to highlight citrus and spice.
