Annandale Unveils First 10-Year-Old Single Malts

A Milestone for the Scottish Distillery

The Annandale Distillery has unveiled its first-ever 10-year-old single malts, marking a significant milestone in its whisky-making journey. The newly announced releases, Annandale Man O’Words 10 Years Old Fresh Ex-Bourbon Cask #125 (58.8% ABV) and Annandale Man O’Sword 10 Years Old Fresh Ex-Bourbon Cask #69 (57.9% ABV), will be available starting March 27, 2025, priced at £110 per bottle.

Elegant Presentation and Historical Significance

Both expressions continue Annandale’s tradition of honoring Scottish heritage. Man O’Words, the unpeated variant, is named after poet Robert Burns, while Man O’Sword, the peated release, pays tribute to King Robert the Bruce, the seventh Lord of Annandale. The bottlings maintain the distillery’s commitment to single cask releases, ensuring a unique experience in every bottle.

Exquisite Maturation and Flavor Profiles

These 10-year-old whiskies were matured in fresh ex-Bourbon casks sourced from the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. Each variant showcases distinct flavor characteristics:

• Man O’Words 10 Years Old (Unpeated): Notes of apple compote, pear, coconut, and toffee.
• Man O’Sword 10 Years Old (Peated): Aromas of vanilla, cream soda, Parma violets, and wood smoke.
