An actual castle, Dornoch Castle Hotel dominates the centre of the eponymous highland town. While Dornoch may be better known for its golf course, the hotel has become a destination for lovers of old and rare whisky.

The bar specialises in old and hard to find whiskies, offering a wide range from the more commonplace to some of the rarest drams of the past century. Obsessively curated by whisky experts Phil and Simon Thompson – who have also opened a distillery on site – the bar constantly has new bottlings to offer, and we are very pleased to welcome Dornoch Castle to the Old & Rare show as exhibitors.
