Oban Distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, established in 1794 in the town of Oban on the west coast of Scotland. Its location, nestled between the Highlands and the islands, gives Oban whisky a unique character that combines coastal and Highland influences. Oban’s small scale and traditional production methods have earned it a reputation for crafting whisky that is rich, complex, and reflective of its maritime surroundings.

Oban produces a limited output each year due to its compact setup with only two pot stills, creating a unique profile that is highly sought after. Oban whiskies are known for their balance of fruitiness, subtle smokiness, and a signature briny edge, inspired by the sea air that surrounds the distillery.

The Oban 10 Year Old Special Release 2024 provides an excellent example of the distillery’s craftsmanship, offering a rare glimpse into the younger side of Oban’s spirit while maintaining the distillery's hallmark character.
