Located in the West Highlands fishing town of Oban, the distillery occupies a unique structural position: the town center has literally grown up around the facility over the last two centuries. This West Highland classic is a chiseled study in maritime elegance, merging the fruit-forward character of the Highlands with the distinct sea spray and light peat of the Atlantic coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- 2.
