The Oban distillery sits in the town of the same name and overlooks the harbour and the sea at Scotland’s western coast. The Oban distillery was founded in 1793 by Hugh and John Stevenson on the site of an old brewery. The distillery dominates the town, despite being rather small and its aesthetics are rather imperial. The pair of stills has a capacity of just 670,000 litres per annum and almost all of this is matured and bottled as single malt Scotch whisky.

Ooh... Oban! A favourite malt of many, and their Distillers Edition bottlings are well loved too. This is a 2004 vintage Oban, which was bottled in 2018 after enjoying a finishing period in casks which had previously held tasty Montilla Fino.
