Highland Distillery Hotel & Casino
A working Highland distillery with a casino floor built into the old malting barn, where the air smells permanently of peat and the cask room doubles as a private card room. Sable & Smoke ages everything slowly, including the night.
Philosophy
"The whisky's been ageing longer than most of our guests have been alive. We figured the hotel should move at the same pace."
A stone malting barn, pagoda-roofed kiln, and a casino floor set among the resting casks.
A distillery host for every wing, a dram poured before you've settled in.
Among the resting casks, seven tables lit by lantern and cask-house dust.
