About Annandale Distillery
Down along the borderlands in Dumfries and Galloway stands a historic distillery with an uncommon history. Built in 1836, the distillery grew a reputation in the 19th century and attracted the attention of Johnnie Walker. But with World War I raging across Europe, the distillery shut down production. Seven years later, R. Robinson and Sons purchased the building and used it to produce Provost Oats porridge and for farm storage. Then, in 2009, Dr. Jim Swan was called in to help new owners Professor David Thomson and Teresa Church renovate the distillery, bringing it back to its original purpose.
Today, guests are rewarded with an excellent tour of the grounds and samples of their core range. The whiskies include Annandale Man O'Words®, a smooth and creamy expression with notes of vanilla, honey, and citrus. Another standout is the Annandale Man O'Sword®, a peated whisky that offers a more robust flavor profile with hints of smoke and spice. Annandale is dedicated to making single cask whiskies, rather than on relying on small batch or large batch vatted malts. This unique distinction makes them a distillery of note, as the Lowlands continue to refine their whisky reputation.
