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. 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 \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Southern Scotland \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;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;The distillery now pours its love into \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;6 different brands\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;: the 1st-tier \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Annandale Distillery\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Man O’ Sword \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026amp; \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Man O’ Words\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; prestigious Single Malts, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Vintage and Founders Selection\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Rascally Liquor \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;clear malt Spirit, and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Nation of Scots \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;blended Whisky. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Jim Murray\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, the esteemed Whisky guru, couldn’t help but shower Annandale’s 2015 release of Man O’Sword (Cask 2015\/470) with his highest praises in the prestigious \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;2020 Whisky Bible\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. With an astounding \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;96.5 points\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, it claimed the throne as the champion among single cask single malts aged 10 years and below. Regrettably, Cask 2015\/470 has vanished into the hands of a fortunate few, but we may just have something even better in store.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Annandale unveiled Cask 2015\/471\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, crafted with the same expertise and meticulous attention to detail as its predecessor. Distilled in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;2015 \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and pampered in a single \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ex-Bourbon cask\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. Here’s a little secret just for you – it spent an \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;extra 13 months in the cask\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, rendering it equally, if not more extraordinary! Prepare for lingering hints of smoky caramel, a delightful blend of tropical fruits like melon and mango, and a fresh Granny Smith apple essence, all gently interwoven with the presence of oak shavings.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130224337078,"sku":"15977","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/mano-sword2015vintageex-bourbo_15977_01_db588bab_da7e81ec-067f-4bf8-bcce-2a5d8784ba41.jpg?v=1779038218","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/mano-sword2015vintageex-bourboncasksinglemaltscotchwhisky-700ml-15977","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
