Meats, Beats and Malts at The Old Bothy in the Speyside wilderness

Information

After a long festival week of lots of distillery tours, late night whisky dinners and countless drams, do not miss our closing event up at The Old Bothy. Here, we have an enchanting and atmospheric 300-year-old stone ruin, set in hills once notorious for illicit whisky-making.

This is a shout-out to guests of the festival and fellow whisky industry workers to join us at The Old Bothy for a party and one last chance to blow off steam. Come and share your stories of your week with others who have attended Scotland’s largest whisky festival.

As our very own DJ provides a mix of beats with a Scottish vibe, gather round for a glug of whisky from The Old Bothy cask, chow down on classic BBQ food and refreshments. Throughout the rest of the evening, enjoy a fine selection of drams under the stars, as we raise a glass to the Spirit of Speyside!
