Oban Distillery & Visitor Centre
This small and historic distillery is located in the charming coast town of Oban.
Oban Distillery takes it name from the town where the Highlands meet the Islands and nestles below the steep cliff that overlooks Oban. This coastal location is accurately reflected by the character of the Oban 14 year old single malt whisky. Visit Oban Distillery, meet our knowledgeable guides and learn about the ancient art of distilling, then enjoy a complimentary dram of the Oban 14 year old West Highland Malt. Do watch our video and read our reviews on TripAdvisor .
Oban Distillery is both one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and one of the smallest with just two pot stills. Pre-dating the town of Oban, it was originally established in 1794 by brothers John and Hugh Stevenson. It underwent a refurbishment in the 1890s and there has been little change to the present buildings since then. The distillery’s tours offer visitors the chance to witness the traditional craftsmanship of whisky production first-hand before enjoying complimentary drams of the Oban 14 year old West Highland Malt.

Oban Distillery
Nestling beneath the steep cliff that overlooks Oban, one of Scotland's oldest sources of Single Malt Scotch Whisky is just a short meander from the sea. For two centuries Oban’s bustling fishing village has sat on the frontier of the West Highlands and the Islands, the meeting place of land and sea. One of Scotland’s oldest licensed distilleries, Oban’s sheltered harbour is perfect for two things: seafaring and whisky-making.
Founded in 1794, the distillery is the heart of the town. In fact, there wouldn’t have been an Oban town if it weren’t for entrepreneurial brothers Hugh and John Stevenson. But it was the improvements of J. Walter Higgin which put Oban Single Malt Scotch Whisky in a different league.

Best distillery tour
My partner works in the liquor industry, so when we decided to visit Oban, we knew we were doing a tour. I have done a couple of brewery/ distillery tours over the years and I can confidently say this is the best one I've done. Mike, our guide, knew everything about the distilling process forward and backward. He knew the history of the distillery in and out. Most of all, you could tell he loves what he does and his passion and excitement is infectious. This tour is well worth it, plus we got to sample some whisky that we've never had the option to try before.
Great guide, very informative and amusing. Good value given the 3 drams! It’s an historic business built up over hundreds of years at the route of Oban.
When visiting Oban, we can’t recommend the Distillery tour enough! It was so interesting to hear the about the history of Oban whiskey, not to mention 3 drams and a free glass thrown in! Our tour guide Heather was knowledgable, funny and very helpful. Even for non whiskey drinkers like ourselves, it’s a brilliant way to spend an hour in Oban!
Very informative, clear and succinct information delivered by our very good guide Adam. Plenty of samples to taste and if driving you were supplied with little bottles for transport home. Also you got to keep the little whisky tasting glass.
Fantastic! Educational! Delicious! Took my non whisky drinking mother for a day trip to Oban and opted to give the distillery a try. Mike was absolutely brilliant, very funny and informative 👏 I will definitely be back with some whisky friends 🧡
Brilliant tour of the distillery with a knowledgeable guide and a few drama along the way too! We were allowed to keep the glasses as a keepsake and the whole experience was a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

DESTINATIONS , EUROPE , SCOTLAND
7 things i learnt about whisky on an oban distillery tour.
There was a collective intake of breath as ‘Magic Mike’, our Oban Distillery tour guide, prepared to share his three cardinal rules for judging the quality of Scotch whisky.
“First, it needs to be in my hand. Second, it needs to taste good.”
As he paused for dramatic effect, we leaned in closer. “Finally, the third and most important rule … someone else has to pay for it.”
Established in 1794, Oban Distillery is one of the oldest and smallest in Scotland. The location was chosen for its harbour, and the town of Oban subsequently grew around the distillery.
Today, the distillery’s seven operators churn out over a million bottles of Oban single malt whisky each year.
Can’t tell your 14-year-old single malt from your blended whisky? And what’s the deal with water and ice? This one-hour Oban Distillery tour debunks some of the myths around Scotch whisky and demystifies the process.
Mike’s mission was to turn those who couldn’t care less about whisky into “enthusiastic amateurs.” Already firmly in the latter category, I needed no such Damascene conversion, but I did learn a LOT about whisky from this distillery visit.
1. The difference between single malt and blended whisky
That’s right. Before taking this distillery tour, I had no idea how a single malt differed from a blended whisky. Other than the taste that is.
The answer is simple. Single malt whisky is produced at a single distillery from water and malted barley only. Blended whisky contains distillates from more than one distillery.
2. The key flavours of Oban single malt whisky
This Oban Distillery tour was a true flavour-finding experience. To my uneducated palate, Scotch whisky was merely pleasantly warming stuff with varying degrees of smokiness.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Oban Whisky has four key flavours: smoky, sea salt, orange peel and honey. In the first stage of the whisky-making process, the barley is lightly exposed to peat smoke , lending it a subtler smoky finish than some other Scotch whiskies, Laphroaig for example. Although the smokiness of Oban’s 14-year-old single malt wasn’t evident on sniffing the whisky, I could certainly taste it.
For you chemists out there, Oban whisky’s distinctive orange notes are a result of esterification during the fermentation process. Honey sweetness arises as a result of the whisky interacting with the oak casks, the final stage of the whisky-making process.
As for the sea salt , no one knows where this comes from.
However, I confess that I couldn’t pick up the salty notes from the whisky tasting. Perhaps I need to drink more of the stuff to educate my palate?
3. The difference between Scotch and Irish whisky
This is mostly down to the distillation process. After fermentation, the resulting liquid or ‘wash’, is run through copper stills to produce a clear distillate. As Mike put it:
it is basically like boiling beer
Scotch whisky is usually distilled twice. By contrast, Irish whisky is distilled three times, which produces a purer product, albeit arguably with less character.
At Oban Distillery, they produce 5,000 litres of clear distillate each day.
4. The flavour of whisky is all to do with the oak
Maturation of the distillate in oak casks is the final stage of the whisky-making process and is key to its final flavour.
Previously used oak casks from the American bourbon and Spanish sherry-making industries are typically used, their natural oils imparting their flavour to the distillate. Wood is porous and allows air to enter, oxidisation breaking down the alcohol and releasing tannins from the oak (more chemistry).
5. Scots get their ‘angel’s share’ of whisky
As well as allowing air to enter the cask, the porosity of the oak also allows air to escape.
Each cask loses 4% of its contents through evaporation in the first year, and 2% in each subsequent year. This is called the ‘angel’s share.’
From the 18 million casks of whisky produced annually in Scotland, that’s a lot for the angels!
6. Older is not necessarily better Scotch whisky
Under UK and EU law, the distillate must be left to mature in oak casks for a minimum of three years before it can be called Scotch whisky. In practice, many Scottish distilleries have a longer maturation period.
Although some distilleries may use their ultra-long maturation periods as a marketing strategy, this does not necessarily mean that the whisky will taste better. As the maturation period increases, the wood dominates and the balance and relationship between the flavours shift.
Oban Distillery matures most of its whisky for 14 years, which they claim is the optimal duration. In the words of our tour guide:
“Orange, smoke and honey working in perfect harmony.”
7. The best way to take your single malt whisky
How do you take yours? Do you add water or ice or prefer it to slide neat down your throat? Or – Heaven forbid! – do you add a mixer?
According to Mike, the choice is between neat or with a teeny, tiny measure of water.
On the distillery tour, we tried it neat (very good). Then our guide suggested we add a mere two or three drops of water, measured from a pipette, and try it again.
The difference was astonishing. Adding this minuscule amount of water to the 14-year-old whisky reduced its fire, allowing the flavours to come through.
How to Do an Oban Distillery Tour
You’ll find the Oban Distillery Visitor Centre in the centre of town at Stafford St, Oban PA34 5NH.
Oban Distillery’s opening hours are seasonal. Check their website for further information.
In 2024, a one-hour tour costs £22.
How to Get to Oban
I travelled to Oban by train. From London to Glasgow Central on the line formally operated by Virgin Trains (now Avanti West Coast ), and then taking the West Highland Line from Glasgow Queen Street.
The journey from Glasgow takes just over three hours and costs from £20 one-way. Book train tickets in advance for the best prices.
Services do not run frequently and can be busy. Neglect to reserve a seat at the time of buying your ticket at your peril.
If you are driving , the quickest route will take you around 2.5 hours from Glasgow. Longer and more scenic routes are also available.
Ready to visit Oban Distillery?
I thoroughly recommend this distillery tour. It’s educational and entertaining and you will get to sample 3 drams of their delicious single malt whisky. When I visited, we could keep the tasting glass!

Islay is a fertile island and has attracted visitors from at least as early as 8000 BC. By 800 AD the Vikings arrived on Islay as it lay on their sea trading route between their homeland and settlements on the Isle of Man and Ireland. Initially as raiders, the Vikings began to settle, marrying into local families who became known as Gael-Gall. The potato famine in 1840 saw many immigrate to places like New Zealand. It is believed that Irish monks in the 14th century were the first to recognise that Islay was ideal for the production of whisky – Uisge Beathe, (water of life). The supply of peat, the pure soft water from the rivers and lochs and ‘bere’ the fore-runner for barley were all here in abundance.

Dunadd was originally an Iron Age hillfort that dominates a raised rocky outcrop. Standing proudly above the Moine Mhor (the great moss) Dunadd became the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Dal Riata between AD 500 and AD900. This was one of the most important places of its time with a buoyant crafts industry and strong trading activities across Europe. It was thought that kings were anointed here. The original Scots were migrants from Ireland who settled across Argyll in ever greater numbers. They were known as Gaels because they share the common language of Gaelic. The Latin speaking fraternity in the south referred to them as Scoti, thought to be a derogatory term that scribed them as pirates.
Kilmartin Glen
Stroll through the glen and explore ancient burial mounds and standing stones. The area is one of the richest concentrations of prehistoric monuments and historical sites in Scotland. Over 5000 years of human existence stretches across this ancient valley. It contains over 350 monuments within a 6-mile radius with 150 being prehistoric. The monuments include: chambered cairns, round cairns, cists, standing stones and rock carvings. The inhabitants of this area in Scotland pre-date the pyramids and they constructed unique linear cemeteries at Nether Largie South and stone circles at Templewood.
Oban Distillery
Nestled beneath the steep cliffs that overlook Oban, the distillery is one of the oldest and one of the smallest with only 2 pot stills. Established in 1794, it was built before the town sprung up around the craggy harbour. The whisky is 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.
