Where open-flame artistry meets refined Indian cuisine, the Linn House Supper Series returns with an elevated three-day Burns Night residency celebrating whisky, fire, and world-class gastronomy.
Linn House, the picturesque and undiscovered home of whisky set on the banks of the River Isla in Speyside, will once again open its doors for a special Burns Night celebration from Thursday 22 January to Saturday 24 January 2026.
Following the sell-out success of last year’s inaugural Burns Supper, the Linn House Supper Series welcomes back open-fire chef Ana Ortiz, who this year is joined by a very special guest: Michelin-starred chef Sameer Taneja, Executive Chef of the acclaimed Benares Restaurant in London’s Mayfair.
Together, the duo will present a completely reimagined Burns Supper, blending their distinct culinary heritages and open-flame cooking philosophies. Ana’s smoky, soulful Ecuadorian techniques meet Sameer’s refined Indian gastronomy — shaped by his Delhi upbringing and mentorship under culinary legends Alain Roux and Pierre Koffmann.
Guests can expect a bold and expressive interpretation of Scotland’s most cherished culinary tradition, with each course expertly paired with aged whiskies from the Chivas Brothers whisky library. The line-up will include favourites from The Glenlivet and Aberlour, alongside rare and exclusive drams seldom available to taste — making Linn House the perfect setting for an intimate dining experience rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and the spirit of Scotland.
Jacques-Henri Brive, Head of Luxury Development at Chivas Brothers, commented:
“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.”
Sameer Taneja, Executive Chef of Benares, said:
“Cooking at Linn House is a truly special experience, and working with Ana is incredibly inspiring. Blending my Indian heritage with Ana’s fire-led Ecuadorian roots has allowed us to create a Burns Night menu rich with fresh, expressive flavours, while honouring the Scottish tradition at the heart of the occasion.”
