Want to visit a beautiful whisky bar with amazing food just off of the river Spey? Then look no further than The Mash Tun.
Formerly known as "The Station Bar" the building was originally constructed in 1896 by James Campbell, a sea captain, who instructed a marine architect to design the building in the shape of a small ship.
A pledge contained in the title deeds, made in 1963 by the owner at the time states that since Dr Beeching closed the railway in Aberlour then a name change was appropriate - but that if ever a train should pull up at the station again then the pub will revert to "The Station Bar".
The current name comes from the whisky and brewing industry and is the large vessel or vat in which the malted barley is mixed with water and yeast.
Commonly these vessels are anywhere up to eight metres in diameter and up to six metres deep. In practice there are large stirrers that are mechanically driven inside a mash tun.
THE WHISKIES
The Mash Tun is home to a wide and varied selection of whiskies, both single malts and blends, predominately from Speyside but also incorporating distilleries from the rest of Scotland. Our small team of enthusiastic staff are here to assist and guide you through the collection of whiskies we currently have.
Enjoy locally sourced food and Scottish whisky, and stay in one of the five whisky themed rooms situated above the bar area! Comfortable and well appointed, each of these rooms are individual and named after local whisky distilleries.
