We visited three distillerys in Scotland, Oban, Glenmorangie and Highland Park. Oban is the middle of the town of Oban and for this reason it remains a pretty small distillery. Despite being a small distillery, Oban produces truly great whisky. Oban 14 is one of my favorites. The pictures below were taken at the Glemorangie distillery which is in a very picturesque setting in Ross-shire.
