The Castle Hotel is located 15 miles from the undisputed Whisky Capital of the World, Dufftown, and we couldn’t have imagined a more befitting name than ‘The Distillery’ for our bar lounge.

The local area is home to the some of the World’s most revered Malts and people travel from far and wide to sample the elixir that the locals here call the ‘water of life’.

Being good neighbours we specialise in the Speyside Malts, but we also offer a wider range of Malts from other parts of Scotland, enabling our guests to acquaint themselves with like-minded delights from the whole of Scotland.

The wood-panelled bar lounge features a warm fireplace - a welcoming respite for any traveller, far or near.

There’s nothing quite like sinking into the leather armchairs, whilst watching the flickering flames dancing excitedly to the Celtic chimes softly playing in the background, whilst sampling your favourite Scottish Malt!

The Bartender’s pride and joy is his selection of 80 Malts and Blends, which has been especially chosen for you, so rest assured you’ll be spoiled for choice!
