    Our tour was led by Emma who was knowledgeable, friendly and informative in equal measure. All the other distillery staff we encountered were also great, and the overall level of access allowed us to see and smell every stage of the process. The distillery itself, having been recently renovated, has a very good restaurant attached which I can also recommend. I should also mention that the range of whisky available to try is substantial and also tasty, I only bought two bottles but could have easily bought more!

    Thank you, Alex! It sounds like you had the full Annandale experience. From Emma’s expert guiding to a meal in our renovated restaurant, we’re thrilled everything hit the mark. We take great pride in giving our guests behind-the-scenes access to the sights and smells of the distilling process, so it's wonderful to hear that stood out to you. Enjoy those two bottles, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
