Oban Heart of the Harbor Special Releases 2025 Single Malt Whisky, 70cl

Journey beyond convention with this welcoming 12-year-old Oban expression, matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks. Toffee and spice warmly embrace notes of citrus, honey and a breath of salt-laden sea breeze. Discover a harmony of sweet home baking, syrupy peaches and warm spices, all enriched by American oak. Each sip transports you to the water’s edge, where Highland warmth and maritime character evoke the comfort of coming home.

Nose
Dry yet mild, with gentle prickle and inviting honeyed spice. The cask influence imparts rich, sweet-spicy depth to fresh maritime aromas — sea breeze, sand dunes, seaweed and citrus. A hint of hessian develops, while a drop of water introduces a subtle oily note and sweetens the nose.
Body
Medium
Palate
Smooth and creamy, with sweet tinned peaches and warming spice. Already well balanced, a drop of water mellows and adds salt, spiciness and a cooling mouthfeel.
Finish
A good length, finishing warmly spicy.
