The Makers Of Oban And Lagavulin Introduce “My Tales of Whisky” Campaign
5 Dec 2014 --- Diageo, the makers of some of Scotland’s finest single malt whiskies including Lagavulin and Oban, has collaborated with actor, humorist, woodworker and self-proclaimed human being Nick Offerman to create an original video content series entitled My Tales of Whisky.
As the title suggests, the original content pieces are musings on Scotch whisky. As the title may not suggest, the series goes live on the interweb.
The creative team behind My Tales of Whisky exports scotch enthusiast Nick Offerman’s deadpan humor and exceptional use of plaid to two of Scotland’s esteemed seaside distilleries, Lagavulin and Oban. The storylines range from an epic transcontinental journey to prove his familiarity with his dram of choice to a ‘documentary’ on how the beloved Oban single malt whisky gets made.
When asked to comment on My Tales of Whisky and the proverbial pedestal upon which these fine whiskies are placed, Offerman reached deep into his library, dusted off a book and selected a passage written by one the great masters of contemporary civilization. Translating Virgil’s Aeneid from its original Latin, Offerman stated, “Believe one who has tried it.”
