About This Tour
Oban is the frontier between the West Highlands and the Islands. Its mild, temperate climate, warmed by the Gulf Stream, sets it apart in a region known for its rugged natural beauty. The proximity to the coast lends Oban some of that salted character for which the Islands are renown, though this is as gentle as the soft rains which give the fishing town its lush surrounds. Embarking on the classic tour of Oban Distillery, this experience will offer you the chance to savour three delicious drams of Oban, whilst your host shares insights into our history and unique whisky making process. From our traditional mash tun through our captivating Still House, to the old filling store, you will learn about how we create the distinctive character and flavours of Oban whisky.
