Details
Oban Distillery, Highlands, Scotland
The Oban Distillery is situated right in the heart of Oban town centre, on Stafford Street opposite the North Pier. Nestling beneath the steep cliff that overlooks Oban, one of Scotland's oldest sources of single malt scotch whisky is but a stone's throw from the sea.
Established in 1794, the distillery has only two pot stills, making it one of the smallest in Scotland. It produces a whisky described as having a West Highland flavour that falls between the dry, smoky style of the Scottish islands and the lighter, sweeter malts of the Highlands.
On the distillery's 1 hour Sensory & Flavour tour, you will be shown around the distillery by one of the knowledgeable guides, and explore each part of the whisky making process. There are numerous experiences throughout the tour to stimulate your senses, including a sample of Oban malt direct from the cask.
Your tour will finish with a sample of the famous Oban 14 year old single malt with some crystallised ginger – a taste sensation! To round off, you will be presented with a small memento of your visit to the distillery.
