Oban 14 Year Old
Towards the latter half of the 18th century, the Duke of Argyll, keen to encourage economic prosperity in the region, offered extremely low rents to people willing to settle on his lands. Two people who took advantage of this opportunity were the Stevenson brothers, who utilised a slate quarry on the island of Belnahua to expedite construction of several buildings, including a brewery, in the mainland fishing village of Oban. It wasn't long until this brewery branched out into distillation, and thus the Oban distillery was born.
The distillery is still relatively small in terms of production, and chooses not to operate at its full capacity, favouring a long fermentation period in an effort to preserve the characteristic style that has won it so many admirers, especially in The United States.
Age: 14 Years Old
43% ABV / 70cl
Timorous Beastie Small Batch Release
Having been in specialist and craft Scotch Whisky production for generations, Douglas Laing originally exported blends, but now carries the family name down the line by focusing on bottling exceptional single malts and grains as part of their Old Particular, Provenance and XOP ranges. They also enjoy huge success with their "Remarkable Regional Malts" range. A series of creatively named vatted malts, designed to epitomise the characteristics of Scotland's whisky regions.
Named after the immortal poem ''Tae a Moose'' by Robert Burns the name is something of a misnomer as this definitely not for the faint hearted. Timorous Beastie is a marriage of Single Malts from The Highlands - including, amongst others, those distilled at Glen Garioch, Dalmore and Glengoyne distilleries.
46.8% ABV / 70cl
