Story · Oban Distillery

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at Oban distillery, right in the middle of the port town of Oban on Scotland's west coast. Whisky has been made here since 1794. Here's the fun part: the distillery is older than the town. It came first, and the town only grew up around it later, along this craggy harbour. Have a look around. Much of what you see arrived after the stills did.
