Ready for a world-first? Join us for an unforgettable afternoon at Annandale Distillery for a celebration of tradition, innovation, and over a decade of excellence.

This is your exclusive invitation to the only Owners Tour of its type to be hosted by Professor David Thomson in 2026.

Experience the passion behind the revival of this historic distillery and get a front-row seat to the future of spirits. 

Discover the true story of Annandale's rebirth after almost a century of sleep, the science behind the distinct Annandale flavour and get access to areas of the distillery that are not usually available to the general public. 

You’ll also learn about our landmark collaboration with EXERGY3 and the installation of a world-first net-zero boiler—a revolutionary step that allows us to produce a world-class whisky with a minimal environmental footprint.

🍰 Indulgence: A delectable two-course afternoon tea in the charming Maltings Coffee Shop.
🎙️ Insight: A private, guided tour led by Professor Thomson, exploring our preserved legacy and the creation of the Man O'Sword and Man O'Words whiskies.
🥃 Exclusivity: An expert-led tasting of Single Cask Single Malts at Cask Strength inside our old bonded warehouse.
🎁 Souvenirs: A limited-edition Owners Tour whisky to take home and a commemorative snifter glass.


Limited to just 15 guests, this is a rare opportunity to hear the Annandale story directly from the source. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this landmark chapter in whisky history.

    We had a lovely afternoon at the distillery. The staff were friendly and informative and there was a nice atmosphere. The whisky is amazing, I mean WOW! I was floating in the clouds! lol. My partner bought me a bottle to take home, a lovely reminder of our visit. The cafe is nicely presented and we had coffee and cakes; delicious. We highly recommend Annandale Distillery.

    Hi Carol, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a lovely afternoon with us and that our team made you feel welcome. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the coffee and cakes, but we’re especially happy that our whisky hit the mark—hearing that you were "floating in the clouds" is the best compliment our distillers could ask for! We hope that bottle your partner bought provides a delicious reminder of your visit every time you pour a dram. We truly appreciate the recommendation and can't wait to welcome you both back to Annandale in the future.
