Where history and whisky intertwine
Ready to go a little deeper into the magic of Scotch whisky?
Journey back in time at the 5-star VisitScotland-rated Annandale
Distillery. Surrounded by the rolling hills of Dumfries & Galloway,
this lovingly restored heritage site is where centuries of history
meet world-class craftsmanship. While Annandale offers three unique
tour experiences, The 1836 Tour is the ultimate choice for
anyone who wants to truly immerse themselves in the sights, sounds,
and scents of a working distillery.
Exclusive access to a living landmark
Over a relaxed 90 minutes, your friendly, knowledgeable guide will
lead you through the rich tapestry of Annandale’s past and present.
You won’t just admire the iconic Charles Doig pagoda and historic
buildings from afar—you’ll step inside restricted areas usually
kept off-limits to visitors. Witness the artistry of whisky-making
up close, learn the intricate secrets of the distillation process,
and feel the warmth of the stillhouse as the spirit comes to
life.
Savour the spirit of the South
After working up a thirst exploring the grounds, you’ll settle in
for an intimate, tutored tasting of Annandale’s finest Single Cask
Single Malts. Your host will guide you through each dram, revealing
how local heritage shapes every drop—from the bold, peated richness
of Man O’ Sword, crafted in honour of warrior king Robert
the Bruce, to the fruity, unpeated elegance of Man O’ Words,
inspired by the legendary Robert Burns.
