You must visit this place, even if you don't like whiskey! I cannot praise this place enough. I wanted to take my dad who is in a wheelchair, I emailed Iain who explained how he would support him accessing the tour through either a VR system or a laptop so he wouldn't miss out. The tour was very informative with a fair bit of whiskey to try. We also booked in for afternoon tea which was out of this world. The lunch menu also looked very good. Well worth a visit even if its for coffee in the beautifully renovated cafe. £12mil well spent!

Adele is a great tour guide! All three of us really enjoyed the tour with Adele. It was our first distillery tour and she did an excellent job explaining everything.

Great tour & tasting We enjoyed a tour today having stayed nearby in Gretna, my husband is a whisky drinker and I’m unable to drink as heavily pregnant but we both enjoyed the tour - the history of the distillery was very interesting and the tour guide (Grant) was very friendly & knowledgeable. Good selection of whisky to buy in the shop afterwards.

Truly Marvellous The Maltings cafe at the Annandale distillery provides a great stop for travellers who are weary of typical cafes. It is warm, friendly, with superb staff, lovely food (The Best Breakfast ) and truly accommodating and welcoming of visitors of with Dogs - there's even a special dog treat menu. It's also very good value. I was so impressed I returned on my return journey the next day and will continue coming back in the future. Thank You

Great experience! We had a great time with the tour, learning about the craft of distilling whisky. It was a small unassuming place, but full of friendly people. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The attached restaurant provided delicious food.

Warm Scottish welcome Big whisky drinker. Never heard of Annandale whisky or been to any distillery before and wasn’t entirely convinced I’d like it.Brilliant experience and amazing guide - Adele was very knowledgeable and welcoming, and dealt with a somewhat rowdy group. The history was explained in great detail, the differences between whisky types and casks, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and even further guidance on where to eat after the tour! Ended up buying a bottle and some whisky stones as the cask strength whiskies were phenomenal.The tour was that good I’m hoping to bring my dad up in a few weeks time! Thank you Adele & AnnandaleAsa Butterfield (not)
