✨ Bottle of the Week ✨

This week’s featured dram is Craigellachie 17. One of our favourites here at the Dowans and as the winner of 5 spirits awards, it is definitively a favourite of many others too!

🥃 Tasting Notes:
Expect a distinct whisky; smooth and mellow in flavour with rich silky notes of exotic fruits. It is a perfect mid-week treat.

💷 Price: £13 per dram

📍 Available here at The Still, our breath-taking whisky snug!

✨Bottle of the Week ✨

This week’s featured dram is a wee corker! From the team at Blind Summit, this is a BenRiach 9 year old that has been finished in a Single Australian Pedro Ximenez Cask. Super interesting (with a beautifully designed bottle!) and perfect for these slightly colder days.

🥃 Tasting Notes:
Expect same kinds of flavours you'd expect from a Spanish PX cask but with bright red berry fruit notes. There's redcurrant and ribena, followed by dried fruit and spice. Delicious!

💷 Price: £10.75 per dram; 1 of only 210 bottles as well so grab it whilst you can!

📍Available here at The Still, your whisky bolthole in the heart of Speyside.

We have some truly incredible news to share…

We are officially listed in the Michelin Guide!

To be recognised by Michelin is an honour of the highest order, and we are beyond thrilled to stand alongside so many outstanding establishments.

This moment has been 13 years in the making. From the day our family first took on the Dowans, we’ve poured our hearts into building something special here in the heart of whisky country. Every step along the way has been driven by hard work, passion, and a belief in what Speyside has to offer.

This recognition belongs to our remarkable team, past and present, whose dedication, creativity, and drive make the Dowans what it is. From the kitchen and whisky bar to front of house and housekeeping, each person has played their part in this journey.

To our guests, whose loyalty has carried us from the very beginning; to the whisky community, who have played such a vital role in supporting and inspiring our journey; and to our local community, whose encouragement means the world: thank you.

We are so proud to call Speyside our home and to continue showcasing the very best of our region through whisky, food, and true Highland hospitality.

Pause the day. Pour the tea.

At The Dowans, Afternoon Tea is all about slowing the pace and savouring the good things. Think buttery scones you can still feel the warmth from, exquisite sweets crafted with care, and savoury bites that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Gather your friends, mark the moment, and let the conversation flow – because teatime here is never rushed.
