Dowans Hotel & Restaurant
A Speyside house with seven hundred malts
In brief
A family-run hotel in a Victorian house above Aberlour village. Its whisky bar holds well over six hundred single malts — a serious collection even by Speyside standards. It's also the practical answer to the question every distillery day raises: how do you taste and still drive? You don't — you stay where you taste.

Good to know
- Book both the restaurant and the rooms ahead.
- Most Speyside distilleries are fifteen to twenty minutes away.
