Dornoch Castle Whisky Bistro

Very good. Ice cold pint. 2 outdoors beer gardens. Friendly bar staff

Just popped in to try a couple of whiskies before dinner. Lucky to get the final 2 seats in the bar (around 7pm time Not being a whisky drinker we asked for advice and the bar man said he always recommends the local ones as not only are they good but they're also small batch.We took his advice and had a dram each of a bottle that had dolphins on the label from the Thompson Bros Distillery (just next door we had it straight up (the horror on his face when we asked for one ice cube : it was really very good. A slight burn of the throat but extremely smooth. We had time to try another, this time I asked to try a speyside. I smelt it and it was almost sherry smelling. 11 year Glenallachie. This was nice but i preferred the first one. The cost of each dram was £5 the price varies obviously depending on what you pick.Cosy atmosphere in the bar area wide choice of other drinks too and an outside space.

Wonderful food and staff. Highly recommend as a stop for some great food before continuing on the nc500 as food is a bit basic in other places.

The best place to drink Scotch Whisky in Scotland. Stuff you can't get anywhere else, probably in the World.NOT bonkers pricing.

Atmospheric whisky bar in Dornoch Castle, amazingly well stocked including bottles from their very own Dornoch distillery. Fab place with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Covid compliance in place.
