Cask profile

Located in the Lowlands, the Annandale Distillery is a symbol of rebirth and craftsmanship in the world of Scottish whisky. Since reopening in 2014, it has quickly made a name for itself by producing both smoky and non-smoky whiskies in clearly defined lines. The Man o' Sword series, named after Robert the Bruce, highlights Annandale's ability to produce bold and expressive whiskies that still retain the elegance of the Lowlands. The bourbon barrel presented here embodies the smoky side of Annandale. While the exact flavours will only unfold when bottled, the cask is a promise for connoisseurs looking for a characterful Lowland whisky. The combination of strong peat smoke and cask maturation showcases the unique style and expertise of this traditional yet innovative distillery.

This profile identifies Annandale cask 943/2018, listed as Man o' Sword 2018. The catalogue records its filling date as 3 July 2018. The stated cask type is Ex-Bourbon. These details identify this particular cask; the distillery logo is not a photograph of the cask itself. The precise earlier use of the wood and number of previous fills should be checked in the accompanying documentation.

The catalogue gives 4 July 2028 as the expected bottling date. This is a planned date rather than a confirmed bottling appointment. It lists 2 planned bottles per share. Bottle size, final bottling strength and the allocation rules need to be read together. The count alone does not establish a guaranteed yield. Changes to the plan should be communicated through the documentation for this individual cask.

The precise warehouse, a dated measurement of remaining volume and a measurement date for the stated alcohol content are not supplied in the public catalogue. The listed alcohol content is 63.5% vol; without a measurement date, it should not be presented as a current regauging result. Before choosing, check the included storage period, finalization costs and distribution terms with the provider. Regional provenance and an expected date do not replace those cask-specific details.
