I believe that this is the first bottling from Lowland Distillery Annandale that we have seen in Alberta. Bottled by Brave New Spirits and part of its Whisky Heroes line of comic book inspired labels, This Annandale single malt was matured for 8 years in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt, then bottled at 52.9%.
About Annandale Distillery
Built in the 1830s and first opened in 1836, Annandale Distillery has a tumultuous history. The distillery was rebuilt and expanded in 1887, and It was purchased by Johnnie Walker & Son in 1895. Johnnie Walker & Son operated Annandale until around 1916 when it was shut down. The distillery site was owned by the Robinson family from 1924 to 2007, but never used for distillation during that time. The Robinson's owned the Provost brand of porridge oats. The distillery buildings were used for production of the porridge, and warehouses on the site homed cattle instead of casks.
The site was purchased in 2007 by David Thomson and Teresa Church, and whisky production began again in 2014. The current Annandale Distillery Company has been releasing official bottlings since 2018, though the focus has curiously been solely on single casks. No plans have been made for a wide-scale release at this time.
