In Popular Culture
According to "Soap's Journal", an item included in the collector's edition of the popular video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the 14-year-old Oban bottling was a favorite of John Price, one of the game's primary protagonists.
It is also apparently a favorite of the fictional character Charlie Skinner, of Aaron Sorkin's 2012 show "The Newsroom". A bottle is seen being shared during a triumphant moment at the end of the pilot episode.

“Just try to prove you’re not a camel!”
—Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
