Welcome to the world of whisky luxury like you've never seen before! The esteemed Chivas Brothers, known for their iconic Scotch whiskies like Chivas Regal and Royal Salute, have just unveiled their latest masterpiece: Linn House, a whisky lover's dream getaway in the heart of Speyside.

Linn House

At the heart of whisky tourism

Jacques-Henri Brive, the mastermind behind this venture and head of brand advocacy at Chivas Brothers, sums it up beautifully, "Linn House represents an opportunity for us to encourage global consumers to connect with the region in which many of our iconic whiskies are made." It's all about exploring the heritage of Scotch whisky in the most luxurious way possible.

As demand for whisky experiences continues to grow worldwide, Linn House is a beacon of hospitality where you can rest, indulge, and enjoy all that Speyside has to offer. It's not just a guest house; it's a destination that defines the art of whisky tourism.

Where can you find this lovely location?

Nestled on the picturesque banks of the River Isla in Keith, Linn House is a Victorian manor with a rich history dating all the way back to 1870. Designed by the talented Scot Robert Kynoch-Shand, this historical gem has undergone a breathtaking transformation inspired by Chivas Brothers' distilleries across Scotland. The result? A rustic-chic haven that's just waiting to provide whisky enthusiasts with an experience like no other.

The Whisky Library

Now, let's talk about the heart of this whisky oasis - the whisky library. This curated collection boasts the finest selections from Chivas Brothers' portfolio, including single malt wonders from The Glenlivet, Aberlour, and Scapa, as well as exquisite blends from Chivas Regal, Royal Salute, and Ballantine's. Guests at Linn House can dive into these liquid treasures through guided tastings, unlocking the secrets of their history, and even savoring limited-edition drams aged up to a staggering 30 years. It's a whisky lover's paradise right in the heart of Speyside!

Culinary journey

Linn House offers an exclusive culinary journey prepared by a resident chef who specializes in creating elegant seasonal feasts using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. You can expect traditional Scottish dinners with a heartfelt address to the haggis, served in the oak-panelled mahogany dining room, followed by a nightcap by the fire pit. It's the kind of experience that will make you fall in love with whisky and the art of fine dining all over again.

Booking a room

Linn House is available for reservations in blocks of either six or 12 bedrooms, and both options grant you sole occupancy of this magnificent manor. You'll also have exclusive access to all the communal facilities, including the living room with its original Victorian fireplace and the walled kitchen garden in the estate's grounds. It's your own private whisky wonderland!

As for the pricing, well, it's as exclusive as you'd expect from a place like this. A two-night stay for up to 12 guests in six rooms, complete with breakfast and a three-course seasonal and/or Scottish dinner with a carefully selected wine pairing, starts at £9,600. If you want the full house experience, accommodating up to 24 guests, it'll set you back £19,200. And just to sweeten the deal, each guest receives a bottle of Linn House Reserve whisky, so you can take a piece of this whisky haven home with you.
