Built in 1830 by former Excise Officer, George Donald, Annandale is one of Scotland’s oldest operational distilleries. Passing through three sets of owners (including Johnnie Walker) Annandale was long closed before being purchased by David Thomson and Teresa Church in 2007. 2014 saw their first casks distilled with the first bottling taking place in 2018.
“At Annandale we never vat or finish our Single Malts as Single Cask maturation allows us to have more control over the final flavour. Two styles of our own Single Malt are produced: smoulderingly smoky MAN O’ SWORD and smooth and mellow MAN O’ WORDS. They are inspired by the iconic Scottish heroes Robert the Bruce and Robert Burns respectively, each strongly linked to Annandale.”
Tasting Notes
From the distillery:
“Nose: Stewed apple, golden syrup, dried fruits
Palate: Malty, fresh herbs, coffee, walnuts
Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering warmth and spice. Creamy toffee, vanilla, spicy nutmeg, hints of cake mix with Christmas pudding, dates and raisins.”
Method
Matured in Ex-Oloroso Sherry butts, bottled at 61.2%. Distilled in 2017, bottled in 2023. Cask #1026.
