Lovers of single malt can sip a dram or two at many local distilleries. You'll find several along Speyside's Whisky Trail, which begins 30 minutes' drive from the hotel. Dalmore distillery, beside the picturesque Firth of Cromarty, is highly rated by connoisseurs. You can tour the Glen Ord distillery, around 20 minutes' drive away, or try Tomatin, where you can fill your own bottle to take home.
