What brought them together was entirely irrational, a “love at first sight” that took them over when seeing the historic \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Annandale buildings \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;back in 2006.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;They couldn’t quite wrap their minds around the reasons behind the distillery lying dormant for nearly a century. And neither would they let its position in Southern Scotland define their Whisky. Yes, it’s the Lowlands, but hey ― why limit yourself to the light, mellow, and fruity style that the local barley supposedly imparts when transportation is such a non-issue in modern times?\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The distillery now pours its love into 6 different brands\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;: the 1st-tier Annandale Distillery, Man O’ Sword \u0026amp; Man O’ Words prestigious Single Malts, Vintage and Founders Selection, Rascally Liquor clear malt Spirit, and Nation of Scots blended Whisky.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Cask 40 – Man O’ Sword\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; was drawn from the very first batch of the prestigious Man O’ Sword. This is the first peated Whisky produced at Annandale Distillery in\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; 90 years\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. Scottish Rugby icon \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Doddie Weuir filled the first cask of this historic Spirit in 2014.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Three years later,\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; 85 casks\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; were yielded and\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; 99 bottles were donated to the My Name’5 Doddie charity. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;Not many Spirits aficionados have the chance to get their hands on one of these precious babies but you can be one of them. It comes in a hand-made bespoke ash and metal display box made by Ian and Claire Cameron-Smith along with a booklet of Annandale’s history and tasting notes.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;*This bottle is a collector’s item; we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;**Individual orders are limited to one item per person, as we wish to allow everyone to participate.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;***Any kind of transit damage is insured and will be reimbursed.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135676473526,"sku":"60640","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/annandalemano-swordcask40-700m_60640_01_178c7808_2230f031-a7bd-411b-b862-ee19510c30af.jpg?v=1779276295","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/annandalemano-swordcask40-700ml-60640","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
