Speyside is the most famous of Scotland’s whisky regions. This breath-taking region sits in a lush valley of rivers and secret glens. The region has historically been the warmest part of Scotland, and the fertile farmlands in the region are perfect for growing barley.

Time for lunch. The Dowans Hotel in Aberlour, Speyside is known for its excellent lunch and dinner options. The menu is freshly cooked to order and offers a range of seasonal dishes, including local Scottish cuisine and pizza. The hotel has two restaurants: 57, which is more informal, and Spé, which is a fine dining restaurant open on Friday and Saturday evenings only and offers delicious tasting menus. The views of the Spey valley are fantastic and in the summer, sitting outside can be delightful. The building is well over 100 years old, kept in wonderful condition.

The GlenAllachie Distillery
Distillery tour and tasting or tasting only. Nestled at the foot of Ben Rinnes lies one of the best-kept secrets in Speyside: GlenAllachie Distillery. Established in 1967, the story truly began in 2017 when the distillery was acquired from Pernod Ricard by industry legend Billy Walker and his two partners; Trisha Savage and Graham Stevenson. 100% Scottish owned and managed, GlenAllachie Distillery are one of the few truly independent Scotch whisky companies. They offer superb distillery tours and tastings and stand alone tastings in their lovely distillery bar. A vast range of both single malts and blended whiskies to try. Great to see production being lowered in search of a higher quality product with an independent identity.
