MAN O'SWORD 2015 Edition - Bourbon Cask
A well balanced, complex whisky with no one flavour dominating. The peat flavours of smoke, tea and toast are well matched with mixed tropical fruit and cream. This and the long, honeyed finish with a reminder of peaty smoke makes a great whisky for all occasions.
- Cask no: 471.

Annandale Distillery
There was a distillery called Annandale on the site of the current one. That defunct distillery was founded in 1830 by a former excise officer from the Elgin area. It produced spirit for some 90 years. It changed hands in 1883 and 1896, on that year, Johnnie Walker & Sons acquired the site and ran it until 1919. The site laid abandoned for a couple of years until it was acquired by a porridge and cereal manufacturer.
There was no distillery to speak off for a very long time and in 2007 Annandale Distillery Co. purchased the site. An investment of £10.5 million brought the site back to life and the first drops of spirit were produced in 2014. The spirit is sold under three different names: Rascally Liquor (new make spirit), Man O'Words (un-peated whisky) Man O'Sword (peated whisky).
