Annandale Man O`Sword Sherry Cask 2015

Originally founded in 1836, Annandale was given a new lease of life, when David Thomson and Teresa Church bought the slumbering distillery in 2007. They not only restored the beautiful buildings but also reinstated whisky production, using a modern plant designed by the late Dr Jim Swan. ‘Man o’Sword’ is their range of peated whiskies, in celebration of King Robert the Bruce, Scotland’s Warrior King and 7th Earl of Annandale. This release was drawn from a single Oloroso sherry butt and bottled at natural cask strength. Just 5% of the distillery`s 2015 distillate is maturing in sherry casks, so this dram is rather rare.
