Annandale Distillery Unveils World-First Net-Zero Whisky Tour 


Whisky enthusiasts and history buffs are invited to a truly unique experience this summer as Annandale Distillery launches the exclusive new Owners Tour. This special event celebrates a decade of resurrected whisky production and marks a revolutionary step towards a sustainable future with the installation of a world-first net-zero boiler.


Join Professor David Thomson, the visionary behind Annandale Distillery's rebirth, for a personal and in-depth journey through the past, present, and future of this historic establishment. After lying dormant for nearly a century, Professor Thomson's passion and dedication have not only revived the distillery but are now propelling it to the forefront of innovation in the whisky industry.

In a landmark collaboration with EXERGY3, Annandale Distillery has installed a groundbreaking boiler, a world-first that will allow for the production of a net-zero whisky. This pioneering technology is a cornerstone of the distillery's commitment to reducing emissions and crafting a world-class spirit with a minimal environmental footprint.


The new Owners Tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to hear the remarkable story of Annandale directly from Professor Thomson. He will recount the distillery's history, its meticulous restoration, and the creation of its signature whiskies, the peated Man O'Sword and the unpeated Man O'Words. Guests will also receive a detailed explanation of the new, sustainable production process powered by the innovative Exergy3 boiler.

This exclusive experience begins with a delectable two-course afternoon tea in the charming Maltings Coffee Shop. Following this, Professor Thomson will lead a private tour, delving into the preserved legacy and character of the distillery. A highlight of the tour is a visit to the old bonded warehouse, where guests will be treated to a special tasting of a selection of Single Cask Single Malts at Cask Strength, personally guided by the Professor.


The exclusive Owners Tour includes:

A scrumptious two-course afternoon tea.

A guided tour with Annandale Distillery's owner, Professor David Thomson

An expert-led tasting of Single Cask Single Malts at Cask Strength.

A special limited edition Owners Tour whisky to take home.

A commemorative snifter glass.


This intimate and insightful tour is strictly limited to just 15 guests per tour to ensure a personal and memorable experience.

Don't miss this chance to be part of a new chapter in whisky history. Mark your calendars and book your place on the Annandale Distillery Owners Tour for a journey into the heart of tradition and innovation.

    Reply from Annandale Distillery Owners Tour with Professor David Thomson

    Beste Henk, bedankt voor de mooie woorden! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We are thrilled to hear that you had a "grand" experience with Joe. It sounds like Joe’s passion for our whisky and history got the better of the clock—though we find that 3 hours flies by when you’re having a great time! There is nothing quite like a private tour to really dive into the details, and we’re so glad you enjoyed that dedicated attention. We hope the rest of your trip was just as enjoyable, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Annandale in the future.

    Tour guide Alastair was excellent. My son & I were treated to a private tour where all of our questions were answered with a quiet confidence. It was a treat to meet other members of staff who were busy at their work but not too busy to talk to us to explain what they were doing. I would highly recommend a visit.

    Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted that you and your son enjoyed your visit to Annandale! It is wonderful to hear that Alastair provided such an excellent tour and answered your questions with confidence. We are also very proud of our production team; they are incredibly passionate about what they do, and I’ll be sure to tell them how much you appreciated them taking the time to chat. We always aim to make our guests feel like part of the process, and I'm glad that came across during your 'private tour' experience! We hope to see you both back at the distillery again soon.
