Win an overnight stay at Linn House, Chivas Brothers’ luxury Scottish retreat, as it hosts its third Supper Series. This picturesque Speyside retreat is nestled on the banks of the River Isla, and promises an experience which goes beyond exquisite food. Known as ‘the home of whisky’, Linn House is offering SPHERE readers the unique opportunity to explore Scotland from their beautifully restored Victorian manor. As part of their five-day exclusive Supper Series, winners will enjoy an overnight stay on Thursday 14th August - just in time to celebrate the beginning of the British game season in style.

With unparalleled food and whisky, this competition includes an overnight stay for two people in one of the retreat's luxury en-suite bedrooms, as well as a dinner of innovative culinary expertise paired with Scotland's most celebrated spirit. After breakfast the following morning, you will be certain that even one night at this charming Victorian whisky residence has made for an unforgettable and wholly immersive escape.

Seasonal Sensations in Speyside

This August, Linn House’s Supper Series returns in celebration of ‘The Glorious Twelfth’, the traditional start of the grouse shooting season which draws enthusiasts to the moorlands across northern Scotland. In a bold new collaboration, this latest edition of the Supper Series is in partnership with South African chef Nokx Majozi, Head Pie Maker at London’s renowned Holborn Dining Room, situated within the Rosewood London.

At the preview of the Supper Series held at the Rosewood London in late July, Head of Luxury Development at Chivas Brothers Jacques-Henri Brive admitted that Scotch and Pie is "slightly more adventurous for a Frenchman" than his usual oysters. However, Brive praised the Supper Series as a way to gather the Chivas Brothers community in Scotland under one (beautiful, Victorian) roof in celebration of food and whisky. Linn House is the home of a whisky library which boasts Chivas Brothers bottles of both the newest and oldest variety.

Having soaked up the undisturbed surroundings of Speyside while sipping some of Chivas Brothers’ most iconic Scotch whiskies and bespoke cocktails, guests will move through to dinner. Here, they may indulge in Majozi’s carefully crafted five-course seasonal menu, a bespoke tasting menu which will pay tribute to the rich game heritage of Linn House’s Scottish residence. The drinks have been thoughtfully paired with Majozi’s sensational dishes to create a balanced tasting experience that unites flavour, culture, and craft. After dinner, you might wish to head outside and, filled with the spirit of Scotland, look up to the stars: is it the whisky clouding your vision, or are those the Northern Lights up above?
