As Dalwhinnie means “meeting place “ and the Apiary @ Dalwhinnie is probably the highest cafe in the Highlands, we thought we would create some Friday night fun for all. Beer food and banter all allowed. Different Fridays will have different people and possibly some live folk music. Dalwhinnie is a fabulous place to visit and the designated driver will get free soft drinks/tea or coffee. Just make yourself known when you arrive and we make sure you are looked after.

Celebrate Valentine’s day in style with a memorable dinner at the Rowan Tree Country Hotel. Show your loved one how much you care by tantalising their taste buds with our tasting menu. Each course will give you new delights to create the perfect romantic atmosphere for you.

Join us for a complimentary in-store tasting of Angels’ Nectar Scotch Whisky at Spey Valley Shopping in Aviemore.

Selected by Angels, Shared with Friends

Inspired by the Angels’ share, the traditional name given to the whisky lost to evaporation during maturation, Angels’ Nectar showcases contrasting styles of Scotch Whisky, for you to enjoy.

On taste will be our:
– Angels’ Nectar Original, our Blended Malt Scotch Whisky created from a selection of Speyside and Highland malts. The Original is also available in 200ml, the perfect size for Secret Santas and stocking fillers.
– Angels’ Nectar Oloroso Sherry Cask Edition, our new single cask release matured for 6 years in a former Oloroso Sherry cask and bottled at cask strength of 57.9%. Christmas cake in a glass!
– Angels’ Nectar Cairngorms 3rd Edition, our single cask Speyside single malt, bottled in partnership with the Cairngorms Trust, to support environmental and community projects in the Cairngorms National Park. The perfect gift for those who love the Cairngorms and a dram.
