The Mash Tun sits beside the River Spey, nestled in beautiful Aberlour. Recently refurbished, it is now a stylish boutique hotel. This historic establishment has been transformed into a beacon of Scottish hospitality, marrying tradition with contemporary luxury.
Our small restaurant offers fine dining without the fuss and a cosy and intimate ambiance.
The whisky bar boasts a magnificent stock of Scottish malts, with a few guest stars from around the world and our own award winning Stalla Dhu range. We also boast our own cigar humidor where guests can choose from an impressive selection of Cuban and New World cigars, to be enjoyed in our enclosed and heated cigar hut!
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

    Great wee place, staff were super friendly and made us very welcome. My son was very impressed with the whiskey selection and having two diplomas in whiskey, he was very happy to educate me :) Food was stunning and the atmosphere was perfect for a Christmas Eve dinner. Loved it and I will definitely be back.

    Lovely meal, staff quite uninterested. Come regular and there’s always an issue with something.If the food wasn’t so good we’d be reluctant to return !

    What a great spot for lunch. We only wish we had stayed in the Inn so we could have had more than one meal! Food was amazing - my French onion soup was to die for with the richest broth you could ask for. Thank you!!!

    Had a wonderful meal, served by the beautiful and friendly Diana, Bethany and Kelly. I can't recommend the mash tun enough.
