There has been a lot of media coverage of Pope Francis jokingly declaring Oban Scotch whisky to be ‘the real holy water' at a reception in the Vatican this week.
It is important to note that it was said as light-hearted response to the Scottish student priests who offered him a bottle as a gift at a reception in the Vatican.
However, us Obanites and Scots are delighted that our wonderful bottle of Oban 14 has received a glowing endorsement from His Holiness.
To enjoy the real thing, please explore our range of Whisky Tastings here in Oban.
