Founded in 1794, Oban is one of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries. Nestled in a small coastal town on the edge of the Highlands, its location bridges smoky West Coast malts and sweeter Highland styles. Using traditional copper pot stills, Oban crafts whisky in limited volumes, prized worldwide for its balance of maritime depth and Highland refinement.
