Together, they hand-select exceptional single malts that showcase the very best of Scottish distilling.

RARE VINTAGE
2014
Annandale’s first production after almost 100 years. Each of these Single Cask-Single Malt bottlings is selected from just one of the 188 ex-bourbon casks filled in 2014. Not just a collector’s item – a terrific dram too!
VINTAGE
2015
Carefully chosen from our 2015 production, Jim Murray rated Annandale’s 2015 Man O’ Sword 96.5/100 and considered it the best Single Cask-Single Malt in the World – 10 years and under (2020 Whisky Bible). Aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.
FOUNDERS’ SELECTION HOGSHEAD
Matured in sherry-conditioned American or Spanish virgin oak hogsheads, these are some of Annandale’s finest Single Cask-Single Malts to date. Smooth, complex and very well balanced!
FOUNDERS’ SELECTION
STR
Our tribute to the late Dr Jim Swan who, along with Miguel Martin, perfected the idea of rejuvenated shaved, toasted and re-charred (STR) red wine casks. Delicious, well-balanced and very fruity.

VISIT ANNANDALE DISTILLERY
Established in 1836, Annandale is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. After closing in 1918 whilst under the stewardship of Johnnie Walker, Annandale Distillery was seemingly lost forever until lovingly restored by David Thomson and Teresa Church (Custodians of The Globe Inn) and finally ‘re-born’ in 2014. Only 17 miles from Dumfries, it’s well worth the trip.
