Luxury whisky and spa experience

Loch Ness Lodge has just launched a luxury whisky and spa experience for the discerning couple.

Whisky is the best known of Scottish exports so, due to popular demand, Loch Ness Lodge has created a Whisky Tasting & Spa Package for guests who are looking to combine a luxurious break in the Highlands with a Whisky focus and Spa therapy.

Glen Ord Distillery Visitor Centre and Whisky Shop, located near Muir of Ord just 15 miles west of Inverness, is the closest distillery to Loch Ness Lodge and is also one of the oldest in Scotland, dating back to 1838.  Loch Ness Lodge guests are given a private tour of the distillery which gives an overview of the whisky making process. Guests may see the distillers at work creating the award-winning single malt whisky, Singleton of Glen Ord.

From there they can enter the duty free warehouse to see where the whisky rests, maturing in casks for 12 years in the dark silence.  This is followed by the chance to nose both a sherry and bourbon cask to detect the difference in aromas.  Naturally no visit to a distillery is complete without enjoying a dram of the special spirit, which has been described as 'a rich, well balanced, sophisticated single malt'.

This two night break starts at just £373 per person for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast and includes a tour of the renowned local whisky distillery, a complimentary whisky digestif after dinner on the first evening. Also included in this package is two Spa Treatments in Loch Ness Lodge's exclusive spa.
