An incredible and unique experience that you savour with all your senses… it really is very special.”

Jo Page

Exquisite culinary destination

Weave through the scenic Cairngorm mountains and arrive into the home of Ghillie Basan; with floor-to-ceiling windows and roaring wood-fires, this is the perfect backdrop to a whisky food safari. Explore the flavours of the region, grind spices, mix pastes and build your flavour profiles ahead of sampling a collection of drams. From those distilled next door, to malts from further afield, this experience is a journey through whisky and its flavours.

The whisky food safari was out of this world! … Ghille’s little corner of the world is so beautiful, and the whole experience was something I’d thoroughly recommend”.

Emma Harrison
