Oban 12-Year-Old — Unblended 1970s Highland Single Malt

Description

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 26 2/3 Fl Ozs / 70 Proof

An old bottle of Oban 12-year-old ‘Unblended’ Highland single malt whisky. This well-known, eye-catching fluted pear-shape bottle dates back to the 1970s and came with a separate glass stopper.

These splendid old 1970s Oban 12-year-olds were Diageo forerunner DCL’s earliest official bottlings of Oban’s single malt – at a time when they bottled very few official releases from their distilleries – and the back label boasted: “It is a small distillery employing only some fourteen men, but their skill produces what we regard as a unique flavour in Scotch whisky”. Oban 12-year-old was discontinued no later than 1988, when the new Oban 14-year-old became part of DCL successor United Distillers’ new Classic Malts range.
