The Spey Larder, Aberlour

Located beside the River Spey in the heart of whisky country, this popular delicatessen is packed with goodies for all seasons and occasions – fine cheeses; chutneys and preserves; spices and condiments for different cuisines; coffee; wine; local ice cream; cookery books; kitchen textiles and an extensive selection of whiskies and gins. Sheena and David Catto, the owners of this treasured establishment, are perhaps the most hard-working couple on the planet, as they simply never stop! You will find me in there every week for a top-up on ingredients and a good old chat.
