Description
🥃Oban Aged 12 Years (Special Releases 2021)🥃
According to legend, between the highlands and the island where the Oban winery is located, a pair of twin foxes were born, each belonging to light and darkness. They persist on opposite sides;
A bright orange fur with the gift of lightness and agility bestowed by the highlands. The other was a dull smoky gray, with the camouflaged mystique that the islands imparted.
These two foxes contrast yet deftly balance each other out.
At Oban distillery, the light and dark characters of the cunning twins are derived from the amber rarity, a unique pair of opposing energies: a perfect blend of Highlands and Islands.
Oban is one of Scotland's smallest and oldest distilleries. Since 1794, it has stood in this coastal town named after the distillery, which is often described as the gateway between the Highlands and the Islands.
Oban's wine is distilled only 208 steps away from the sea. Its rich and citrusy highland characteristics blend with the salt flavor brought by the sea and the unique peat flavor of the island area.
This pair of naturally sweet siblings is definitely eye-catching. Sweet paprika aroma, smooth body, can taste a touch of citrus. A contrasting framework of marine aromas, first crystallized salt and oil, then hints of salt and new burnt casks.
Fresh, crunchy oak spice, citrus sweetness and a lingering peppery finish combine to deliver this beautiful tale of light and dark.
Diageo, a long-established wine merchant, once again crossed the boundaries of Scotch whisky this year, bringing together the best single malt Scotch whisky and launching the Special Releases series called "Legends Untold".
Curated by Diageo Master Blender Dr Craig Wilson, the new collection features a distinctive and legendary selection of eight different brands of whisky, each with a smell, taste and appearance that ties in with this year's 'Legends Untold' theme.
The new collection has aroused the curiosity of whisky lovers, Dr Wilson said: "The mysterious charm of this year's collection is that it shows the original style of the distillery. We draw inspiration from each whisky, revealing new layers and depths of each flavor and essence, and then reveal the legend within them."
For this note series, the brand enlisted illustrator Ken Taylor to paint a graphic-led design for each decanter, inspired by the myths, flavours, casks, decanters and packaging of each local Scottish distillery. Capture their traditional essence. Each wine bottle is printed with its own QR code, which is linked to the "multi-sensory experience" of the winery's legends and stories, leading you to experience each legend.
