Introducing Ooshka Bar
Ooshka Bar invites you on a journey through Scotland, from the peaty hills to the salty shores, one dram at a time. Founded in 2023 by a passionate team, our mission is simple: educate through experience. Your experience at Ooshka Bar is more than just sampling spirits. It's an immersive journey through Scotland's vibrant landscape. We're not just passionate about Scottish whisky, we're passionate about the stories behind each bottle, the history of their distilleries, and we believe that small, independent makers have a much better story to tell. You will find that the emphasis is much more on the story than a lecture on tasting notes!
The Faces Behind the Flavours
Meet the passionate spirits enthusiasts driving your Ooshka Bar experience. Fuelled by love for Scottish history, we work together to unveil the stories behind each dram.
​
Mark, our resident whisky expert, brings a wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm to every tasting. Behind the scenes, Alex ensures everything runs smoothly, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the Ooshka experience.
Beyond the Label: A Celebration of Smaller Distilleries
We believe in celebrating the diversity of Scottish spirits. We source from smaller, independent distilleries, often overlooked but brimming with passion, innovation, and character. Our guides unveil the hidden histories and unique methods behind each sip. You'll learn about the distilleries' journeys, their dedication to their craft, and the unique ingredients and processes that shape each bottling's identity. You won't just taste the spirit; you'll experience the story behind it.​
More Than Just Tastings: Immerse Yourself in Scottish Culture
Our commitment to collaboration extends beyond the distilleries. We're as passionate about Oban as we are about whisky. That's why we partner with local businesses to offer unique, collaborative experiences. From a perfectly paired steak and whisky dinner, to a lively "meet-the-maker" session with the distillers themselves. You'll often find us hosting such events at a variety of venues in and around Oban.
​
We work with our local partners to craft truly unique experiences, whether that's of our invention or yours. Our bespoke packages often feature a variety of our Oban friends to help weave more Scottish culture into your individual experience.
