In celebration of World Whisky Day on 17th May, historic manor house hotel SCHLOSS Roxburghe in Kelso is offering guests a curated selection of three new self-guided whisky-tasting flights inspired by the Scottish regions.
Hosted in the sophisticated Bar 1745, surrounded by the personal book collection of the manor’s former owner, the Duke of Roxburghe, this experience invites both whisky newcomers and aficionados to savour Scotland’s finest whiskies.
The three flights each offer a distinct tasting experience:
- Turas (Journey) guides guests through Scotland’s whisky regions, highlighting the varied character of Lowland, Speyside, and Campbeltown varieties, which range from light and approachable notes to richer, more complex profiles.
- Leigheas (Remedy) delivers soothing sweetness with rich, fruity selections from the Highlands and Speyside – perfect for those who like their whisky indulgent.
- Mòineach (Peat) is a bold choice for those drawn to intense, smoky flavours, featuring peated whiskies from Islay and beyond.
Each flight of three whiskies (£50) is accompanied by tasting cards offering detailed insights into the origins and flavour profiles of each dram. While this is a self-guided experience, guests seeking a deeper dive may opt for a Guided Whisky Tasting led by one of the hotel’s whisky experts (prices from £50).
A Taste of the Scottish Borders
While visiting SCHLOSS Roxburghe for a whisky tasting, guests can also enjoy the world-class facilities the hotel has to offer, including the only championship golf course in the Scottish Borders and the new state-of-the-art driving range or the award-winning spa (the first outdoor spa in the Borders) and its range of relaxing treatments.
With over 300 acres of land, including 2.5 miles of the River Teviot, Trout Loch, beautiful parkland and Estate gardens, this is the perfect hotel to enjoy nature and the great outdoors.
Activities lie at the heart of the SCHLOSS Roxburghe – guests can enjoy fly fishing on the river or Trout Loch (with lessons available from world team Spey casting champion Eoin Fairgrieve), archery, country sports, or even Clay Pigeon Shooting at the on-site Shooting Centre.
Whatever guests choose to explore, SCHLOSS Roxburghe represents a true taste of the Scottish Borders and the best five-star experience the area has to offer.
