More than just a wee dram
Forget stuffy, intimidating tastings—pull up a chair at Annandale Distillery for a warm, welcoming journey into the world of Single Malt Scotch. Over a relaxed 60 minutes, you’ll be guided through a hand-picked flight of up to five extraordinary Single Cask whiskies. Because every expression comes from a single, individual barrel, no two casks are ever quite the same—meaning you're tasting liquid history you won't find on standard supermarket shelves.


Unlock the secrets of the cask
Hosted by one of Annandale’s passionate whisky experts, this masterclass is all about slowing down and waking up your senses. Your guide will be your companion through a symphony of scents, showing you how to nose each glass to pick out everything from rich orchard fruits and warm vanilla to subtle, smoky peat. Whether you already know your Man O’ Words from your Man O’ Sword or you’re simply curious to discover what makes Single Malt so special, you’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for the craft.


What you'll get

  • 60-minute immersive masterclass: Step behind the scenes at the historic Annandale Distillery in the heart of Dumfries & Galloway.

  • Five rare drams: Sample up to five specially selected Single Cask Single Malt Scotch whiskies, hand-picked by an in-house whisky expert.

  • A true sensory journey: Learn the art of professional whisky nosing as your knowledgeable guide helps you unlock a symphony of scents and complex flavours.

  • Warm Scottish hospitality: Enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where no question is too small and every dram tells a story.

  • The ultimate day out: Perfect for dedicated whisky enthusiasts, curious beginners, or as an unforgettable gift for someone special.

    Ich habe die 2 ständige Tour gebucht welche ich sehr empfehlen kann. Fredi ist ein hervorragender Tourführer. Er hat den Besuch in der Destillerie zum Erlebnis gemacht und hat diesen geschichtsträchtige Ort mit sehr viel Hintergrund Wissen an die Besucher getragen. Der Annandale Whisky ist mit sehr viel Herzblut und Fachwissen hergestellt. Jeder Tropfen ein Gaumen Erlebnis. Die wunderschönen Gebäude geben der Destillerie alle Ehre. Die Flaschen exzellentes Design. Es ist wirklich ein Besuch wert. Ich habe mir nur deswegen die Reise gebucht.
