Oban Distillery: Being this likeable isn’t easy

Oban Distillery proves that the best stories reveal your true nature - if you want people to listen, then simply be yourself 

When tasked with giving a fresh take on Oban Distillery, the whisky maker and its media partners went straight to the heart of the matter: its likability. With a dramatic 30-second buildup charting the streets, hills, lochs and highland that surround one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries, it delivers a quickfire punchline that gets straight to the point. 

Linkwood 50

If you’ve ever dreamt of joining the ranks of those who have tasted or owned a 50-year-old whisky, then this is for you. Representing incredible value for both vintage and status, this 50-year-old Linkwood single cask bottling is a rare chance to own a truly rare release.

Lyrically described by Charlie McLean as “A haughty dowager duchess of a whisky”, Linkwood 50 Private Collection is an exclusive and elegant part of Scottish whisky history.
