Luxury Scottish retreat offers unforgettable experience 'rich in taste and storytelling'

The event marks the start of Scotland's grouse and game season A luxury whisky retreat in the heart of Speyside is set to serve up another round of exotic Scottish hospitality this August, as Linn House reopens its doors for the third chapter of its acclaimed food and whisky experience, The Linn House Supper Series. ‌ This year's edition marks an exciting collaboration with celebrated South African chef Nokx Majozi, Head Pie Maker at the Holborn Dining Room and its renowned Pie Room at Rosewood London. ‌ Running from Wednesday, August 13, to Sunday, August, 17 2025, the event celebrates 'The Glorious Twelfth', a date that traditionally signals the start of the grouse shooting season and the wider game season across Scotland. ‌ The five-day culinary experience, titled The Glorious Twelfth with Nokx Majozi, will showcase a five-course seasonal menu crafted by Majozi, paying tribute to the region's rich game heritage while reimagining the traditional British pie. Each dish will be paired with a curated selection of Chivas Brothers' most iconic Scotch whiskies and bespoke cocktails, offering guests an elegant exploration of local flavour and culture. The Supper Series will be hosted at Linn House, the beautifully restored Victorian manor perched on the banks of the River Isla. As the exclusive guest house of Chivas Brothers, the makers of globally renowned brands like Chivas Regal and Royal Salute, the venue promises a unique blend of fine dining and Speyside tradition. Live Scottish entertainment will accompany the dining experience, adding a festive flair to the occasion. ‌ Jacques-Henri Brive, Head of Luxury at Chivas Brothers, said: 'Nokx Majozi's fearless creativity and deep respect for traditional flavours make her the perfect collaborator for this summer's Supper Series. "Her interpretation of the British classic pie, elevated by locally sourced game and our expertly crafted whiskies, promises a dining experience that's rich in both taste and storytelling.' ‌ Reflecting on her personal connection to whisky, Majozi said: 'Whisky has always had a special place in my heart, especially Chivas Regal, which reminds me of my father's love for it back home in South Africa. "I'm honoured to bring my own culinary heritage to this unique setting and to reimagine game pies as a way of celebrating Scottish tradition with a hint of modern flair. I can't wait to welcome guests to what I know will be a truly special occasion.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
