While this may be a small distillery, as one of the few urban distilleries left, it certainly has a lot of character. Got a nice welcome, saw the small exhibition and were given a nice informative tour of the distillery. Tour guide was light-hearted and did not leave anything out, even though, as always, no photography inside. On the other... More

We weren't sure about doing this tour, but for 6 pound we thought we may as well. We were told it went for an hour and we get a wee drink at the end. We loved the tour. The guide was likable and knowledgeable. The tour itself was informative and fun. We walked through the factory itself and enjoyed a... More

Guide gave good tour of this smallish distillery. Tour included two small samples and free gift glass. We did not buy any whisky as we can get Oban in the states and didn't want to carry around. Visited while on tour with group headed to Hebrides.

If you like a tipple and whisky is your thing then this is a must see attraction but I recommend saving this for a rainy day. They do get quite booked up during the day and I would recommend making for this first thing and booking a morning tour. You will also have the opportunity to sample some whisky and... More

We saw the demo of history inside Oban distillery explained about 5 th century north Ireland came down there for trade and started distillery .It was amazing with history of wars . We saw Caledonian ships plying there . Also nice shopping city and we had Indian food there . The tour was organised to see only Oban town centre... More

My husband loved the 18-year old Oban whisky that he got a few years ago as a present, but hasn't been able to find it in Germany where we live. Getting to the Oban Distillery was way up on his list, but he was very disappointed. We were too late to do any tasting and Oban does one whisky only,... More

Having visited a number of distilleries I can safely say this one is one of the best. Before the tour starts you can visit a small display of Oban and the distillery, there is also a bar where you can pay to taste some of the rarer whiskys. The tour is very informative and the guides are very knowledgeable about... More

We're on a whisky trip through Scotland. We've taken a fair number of distillery tours. Oban's was pretty much the low point of the trip. The small distillery is very nice. It's wonderfully situated, right in the middle of Oban town, which apparently grew up around the distillery. The tour through Oban distillery was led by a very humourless guide.... More

The tour was very organised and informative. £7.50 gets you on the one hour tour - which barely scratches the surface of whisky making/history, but you'll certainly walk away more knowledgeable than most, plus you'll have sampled some of the produce and given a glass to take home. I have no gripes about the experience. For the price/time, you'll be... More
