At eight years old, this is one of the oldest STR bottlings we’ve ever released. Created with Jim Swans guidance and matured in his signature cask, this whisky captures the quality and individuality we strive for. This latest release follows on from our Man O’Sword STR Cask 374 winning Best Lowland NAS Single Cask Single Malt at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards.

Shaved, toasted, re-charred, red wine casks (STRs) have always been a favourite because of the unique fruity character they impart on our whisky, and this peated expression might be our best yet with incredible depth and complexity. Expect notes of sweet tobacco smoke, lots of orchard fruits, and treacle.
Limited to just 283 bottles, this is an Annandale Distillery exclusive bottling, only available at the distillery and through our online store.
Distilled, matured, and bottled from a single cask in Annandale, without chill filtration or added colouring.
