Vintage Range
During 2015, we produced 869 casks of spirit (about 40% of Annandale’s maximum capacity). Working tirelessly with Dr Jim Swan to perfect our process, we made a few ‘nips’ here and a few ‘tucks’ there, in our uncompromising pursuit of ‘single malt perfection’.
Our second release in 100 years the Vintage Range Collection has received multiple accolades and remains a firm favourite both on-site and off-site from our growing Annandale Distillery whisky enthusiasts. The peated Man O’Sword and unpeated Man O’Words 2015 Single Cask Single Malt’s have each done extremely well both nationally and internationally.
And, the bulk of our Vintage 2015 cask stock was hand-selected by Dr Jim Swan.
Bottles of our 2015 Vintage range are available exclusively at our on-site whisky shop.
“This is clearly a distillery which already knows its own mind. Impressive.” Dave Broom
The majority of our 2015 production was filled into ‘refills’ (54%) with the expectation of longer-term maturation. Of the remaining production, 36% was filled into ‘fresh’ ex-bourbon casks, 5% into authentic sherry butts and 5% into an assortment of other casks.
Our 2015 sherry butts were sourced directly from José y Miguel Martín SA, Spain. These are very rare authentic sherry butts that were used to mature sherry (rather than sherry-conditioned virgin oak casks).
