Oban
Founded by Hugh and John Stevenson in 1794, Oban Distillery is firmly tied to its environment. Their water supply comes from a nearby loch and their barley from a nearby town. Before the town was built around it, only this distillery existed. Oban continues using worm tubs instead of condensers, which allows the copper to pull out a significant amount of impurities. Today, it is one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries.
