Step inside the story of Scotland’s dramatic whisky revival with the man who brought it back to life.
Join co-founder Professor David Thomson for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes journey through Annandale Distillery.
This isn't an everyday walkthrough—it is an intimate, first-hand account of passion, science, and the resurrection of an iconic distillery that lay silent for nearly a century.
Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur eager to explore our unique copper stills or simply love a gripping Scottish heritage story, Professor Thomson brings Annandale’s journey alive with rare personal insights, candid anecdotes, and deep historical detail.
What to Expect
The Visionary’s Perspective: Discover the painstaking restoration of our 1836 site directly from David, exploring how a forgotten ruin was transformed into a world-class single malt distillery.
The Alchemy of Single Malt: Get up close with the sensory craft behind our spirit—from our peated and unpeated expressions to the science of wood selection and cask maturation.
Rare Warehouse Access: Step into the bonded warehouse, soaking in the angels' share and uncovering the secrets of our maturing casks.
Curated Tutored Tasting: Conclude your experience with a guided sensory tasting led by Professor Thomson, sampling exceptional single cask expressions some straight from the cask, in addition to lively discussion and a chance to ask your burning whisky questions.
