Oban 12 Year Old Heart of the Harbour 2025 Special Release is a limited expression from Oban Distillery — a 2025 Diageo Special Release presenting the distillery’s maritime, slightly peated, and honeyed west Highland single malt at 12 years in a cask strength format, younger and more assertive than the standard 14 Year.
The Heart of the Harbour name references Oban’s position at the centre of the town harbour — one of the most distinctively situated distilleries in Scotland. At 12 years and cask strength the Oban character is more assertive and coastal than the polished standard 14 Year. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
