Day 117 - April 29, 2023 - Oban, Scotland - The Oban Distillery Est 1794 - Jane
The Oban Distillery is one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland, taking up just over one square acre and sitting only 208 steps away from the Scottish seaside. Of the distilleries under the Diageo umbrella, Oban is the second-smallest producer in terms of volume.
When Oban was opened by the Stevensen brothers in 1794, there was no surrounding town for the distillery to call home.
Prior to the distillery’s construction, the coastal area was occupied by minor fishing, shipbuilding, and quarrying industries with very few residents. The town of Oban was instead constructed around the distillery and was recognized as an official burgh of barony — a type of Scottish town — in 1811.
