Annandale Distillery - Single Cask Mastery from the Lowlands
Nestled in the Dumfries and Galloway region of the Scottish Lowlands, Annandale Distillery has built a reputation for craftsmanship and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Originally founded in 1830, the distillery lay silent for nearly a century before being revived through a meticulous, multi-million pound restoration by owners David Thomson and Teresa Church.
Following extensive renovations and modernization, production resumed in 2014, with Annandale releasing its first single malt in 2018. In 2025, the distillery reached another milestone with the release of its first 10-year expressions, marking its arrival as a serious player in the Scotch whisky world.
What truly sets Annandale apart is its dedication to single cask whisky. Every release comes from an individual cask, with a deep focus on sourcing high-quality wood from around the world. The result is a portfolio that emphasizes diversity, provenance, and individuality; no two bottlings are ever quite the same.
For those looking to explore single cask whisky in depth, Annandale offers a unique opportunity, and you can browse our full range of releases anytime, with a lineup that showcases the breadth of the distillery’s cask program.
Annandale’s single cask whiskies represent a true expression of both spirit and wood. From the bold, peated character of the Man O’ Sword range to the more delicate, unpeated elegance of the Man O’ Words series, each bottle tells its own story. These labels pay tribute to two of Scotland’s most iconic figures: Robert the Bruce and Robert Burns, connecting the whisky to Scotland’s rich cultural heritage.
Beyond single malts, Annandale has also collaborated with renowned Scottish actor James Cosmo on the Storyman release, a blended whisky personally selected by Cosmo himself. Known for roles in Braveheart, Highlander, Game of Thrones, and Jack Ryan, Cosmo discovered Annandale while filming in the region. Drawn to the whisky’s character, he partnered with the distillery to create a dram that reflects his own story.
