The Speyside-based Linn House, the guest house and whisky retreat owned by Chivas Brothers, has announced that it will once again open its doors to the public for a gastronomic celebration of Burns Night.

Following the sell-out success of last year’s inaugural Burns Supper, the Linn House Supper Series returns with open-fire chef Ana Ortiz, who this year welcomes a special guest: Michelin-starred chef Sameer Taneja, Executive Chef of Benares Restaurant in London’s Mayfair.

Together, the duo will create a completely unique interpretation of a Burns Supper, marrying their distinct open-flame cooking styles and culinary heritages. From Ana’s smoky, soulful Ecuadorian techniques to Sameer’s refined Indian gastronomy — shaped by his upbringing in Delhi and mentorship under industry icons Alain Roux and Pierre Koffmann — guests can expect a bold and expressive reimagining of Scotland’s most cherished culinary tradition.

Each course will be paired with aged whiskies from Chivas Brothers’ whisky library, including favourites from The Glenlivet and Aberlour, alongside exclusive drams seldom available to taste. This makes Linn House the ideal setting for an intimate dining experience rooted in craftsmanship, creativity and the spirit of Scotland.

Situated on the banks of the River Isla and nestled in picturesque Speyside, Linn House is Chivas Brothers’ first guest house and whisky retreat. With origins dating back to 1870, the magnificent Victorian manor, designed by Scottish gentleman Robert Kynoch-Shand, has been thoughtfully reimagined for the modern day, following an impeccable renovation that blends luxurious amenities with rustic-chic interiors inspired by Chivas Brothers’ distilleries across Scotland.

Commenting on the announcement, Jacques-Henri Brive, Head of Luxury Development at Chivas Brothers, said: “Ana and Sameer bring two extraordinary culinary worlds to Linn House, and seeing their creativity come together for Burns Night is something truly special. This collaboration embodies our ambition to offer guests rare, memorable experiences where exceptional whisky and world-class gastronomy meet in perfect harmony.”

Ana Ortiz, Ecuadorian chef and co-founder of Fire Made, added: “Returning to Linn House feels like coming home to a place where fire, flavour and storytelling truly belong. Partnering with Sameer allows us to push the boundaries of what a Burns Supper can be — bringing together our cultures, our craft and the beauty of open-flame cooking in a way that feels both intimate and unforgettable.”

Starting from £95 per person, the Linn House Burns Night Supper Series will run from Thursday 22 January to Saturday 24 January inclusive. Each dining experience can be booked individually, or for those seeking a luxurious Scottish escape, double rooms at Linn House are available for an additional £279.
