Product description
Oban is a picturesque Victorian town, the capital of the Western Highlands.
In its centre we find the distillery, which is an unusual location, but remember that it has been producing whisky since 1794, and at the end of the 18th century the town of Oban was just a fishing village. The distillery is equipped with one pair of stills capable of distilling just over 850 thousand litres of alcohol per year, and its location completely rules out even the smallest expansion. Oban 14 years old debuted in 1988 as part of the original Classic Malts series . The whisky is aged mainly in bourbon casks, with a small addition of sherry casks.
