Glamping is where untamed beauty meets refined comfort. Whether you’re escaping to the Highlands or setting up a canvas tent in the backyard, it’s about embracing nature without sacrificing luxury. Plush bedding replaces sleeping bags, thoughtful lighting creates ambience, and a dram of The Glenlivet adds a final flourish to every moment.

In this guide, we’re elevating your outdoor escape with everything from fire-friendly cocktail pairings to design tips that bring style and soul to the wild. Here’s how to glamp the Glenlivet way—effortlessly, beautifully, and always with a great drink in hand.

Forget foil-wrapped burgers and instant noodles—glamping is your excuse to indulge. Start with a curated charcuterie board, layer in smoked or marinated meats, and add seasonal salads, artisan cheeses, and local delicacies. Think fresh sourdough, herby olive oil, and a jar of wild berry chutney.

Not only is this kind of spread easy to prep and share, but it also sets the tone for a more elegant experience. Whether you’re serving around a communal table or laying out a grazing board in front of the fire, food is where glamping turns from good to unforgettable.

Pair with a bottle of The Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve or The Glenlivet 12 Year Old—something smooth and versatile to match the variety on your plate.

Nothing pairs with dusk-lit skies and the smell of woodsmoke like a well-made cocktail. With just a few ingredients and a good bottle of whisky, you can serve something that feels both elevated and effortless.

For ideas, explore our campfire cocktail round-up—featuring drinks like the Whisky Hot Chocolate for cool evenings, or the Scotch and Soda when you want something light and simple as the sun goes down.

Bring a flask, some sturdy glassware, and pre-batched ingredients to keep the mixing minimal. Then take your drink outside and savour it with your boots up and a blanket over your shoulders.

Glamping is more than camping with extra cushions—it’s creating a space that feels considered and calm. It starts with the basics: a comfortable bed layered with soft throws, good lighting, and a fluffy rug underfoot.

Add character with flickering lanterns, glassware that feels like home, and natural textures—linen napkins, wooden boards, and tactile ceramics. A vintage trunk can double as storage and a cocktail station. Even a mirror hung in a canvas tent catches candlelight and adds a little old-world glamour.

What makes a great glamping experience unforgettable are the little rituals: sipping a dram around the fire, a movie night under the stars, or waking up with fresh coffee and misty views.

Pack a portable projector and create your own outdoor cinema, complete with warm whisky cocktails and marshmallows for roasting. Or plan a sunset toast with tartan blankets, buttery shortbread and The Glenlivet in your glass.

Just like your packing list for a luxury weekend away, glamping calls for layers you actually want to wear. A cashmere jumper. A waxed jacket. Wool socks and a beanie that looks as good by the fire as it does in photos.

You don’t need to overdo it—but a few tactile, warm pieces go a long way. Choose comfortable silhouettes in muted tones, and let accessories (like a patterned scarf or enamel mug) do the talking.

After all, nothing says glamping style quite like sipping your favourite Glenlivet whisky while wrapped in your favourite knit beneath a starlit sky.

The best kind of glamping drink? One that tastes just as good by the fire as it does in your favourite tumbler back home. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply toasting the view, a bottle of The Glenlivet brings a sense of occasion to any moment.

From the honeyed, smooth character of The Glenlivet 15 Year Old, to the tropical warmth of The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve, there’s something in the collection to match every setting, mood and season.

A bottle also makes a thoughtful gift if you’re heading to a group getaway—especially when paired with a handwritten note and a few favourite serves.

Glamping is all about contrasts: wild landscapes with creature comforts, spontaneous evenings with thoughtful touches. It’s whisky poured into real glassware, blankets that feel like home, and the kind of drinks you want to share.

So wherever you’re headed—from the Cairngorms to the coastline—pack well, plan just enough, and bring The Glenlivet along for the ride.
