Oban Heart of the Harbour 12 Year Cask Strength is a limited-edition Highland single malt that celebrates the historic west coast distillerys maritime roots. Aged for 12 years and bottled at natural cask strength, this release amplifies Obans signature balance of orchard fruit, coastal salinity, gentle smoke, and malt richness while preserving the whiskys full texture and intensity.
The nose opens with aromas of ripe apple, orange peel, honey, and toasted malt, layered with sea breeze, subtle peat smoke, and oak spice. The palate is concentrated and complex, revealing notes of vanilla, baked orchard fruit, salted caramel, black pepper, citrus zest, and a touch of dark chocolate. Bottling at cask strength adds weight and depth, leading to a long finish marked by warming spice, maritime minerality, and lingering smoke.
Founded in 1794, Oban is one of Scotlands oldest and smallest distilleries, producing whiskies that bridge the fruity elegance of the Highlands with the coastal character of the Western Isles. Heart of the Harbour highlights that distinctive house style in a more powerful, unfiltered expression designed for enthusiasts who appreciate whisky in its most natural form.
