We visited on Nov 19th. A day trip up from the Lake district. Looking for somewhere to eat we came across The Maltings Coffee Shop at the distillery. Warm welcome by very friendly and helpful staff. Food and drinks were great. We would go again, if it wasn't 180 miles away. Definitely worth a visit. Recommended.

Phenomenal. Best distillery. Great tour. So informative and you see so much. Such intricate machines and wonderfully worked by the staff. So true to the original making methods of whisky. Tasters as you go and small bottles to go for the driver. Totally worth the fee. Coffee shop. Dogs allowed on the grounds however not inside the distillery. Disability friendly call in to get assistance.

I love giving 5 star reviews. This one is well deserved. Fantastic afternoon tea in the cafe and a very informative tour finished off with a tasting session. The building and interiors are super. The staff are attentive and are passionate about what they are doing. Put it on your list!

We came to Annandale for a tour with Victoria (who was delightful!) and got SO…much…more! The History of the facility is fascinating as well as the process by which they make their World Class Spirits. We had drinks to start with but came back for a 5 Star Lunch with Twin towers of Entree’s and desserts, Fabulous and delicious! The Whisky tastings were like a Scottish Journey to DeliciousLand, which by the way, beats Disneyland! (At least for adults:) would do this again in a heartbeat. Love the overall Wood theme that has been incorporated into every corner of the property. They have a well thought out plan to be faithful to the environment. Designed incredibly well with much thought and intention. Well worth your Time and Money!

Brilliant Day at Annan Distillery. Loads of history in amazing sorroundings. Two tour guides. The young girl who took the tour was in training and she was brilliant and so was the other guy seeing overseeing her training for the day Got to be up there with the best Distilleries in Scotland. Amazing setting. And they gave everyone the option of a great selection of Whisky to taste at the end. Or to take away. Also great cafe for refreshments at the end.

Great place to visit. The approach and location is wonderful as well as the grounds themselves. Arrived a little earlier than planned which wasn't a bad thing as it gave plenty of time to enjoy a full breakfast. The tour itself was very informative and interesting. Of course the samples helped with the experience. Obviously left with a souvenir too 😊🥃

Had a terrific afternoon tea here on Monday (with whisky of course). Food and drink was all delicious (particularly the salmon cracker). Very generous bottle of prosecco on the house since we were celebrating was much appreciated! Thanks to all the staff for being part of a great day! We also enjoyed the "fill your own" whisky experience. You pay a bit extra for the privilege but a nice memento.

The most interesting distillery I ever had the pleasure to visit. The team seems very happy and proud to work here, and you can see what a difference it makes. I am very impressed by the owners comitment and passion, their financial and time investement to bring this distillery back to life is truly inspiring. It is a long-term and respectful approach - for local folks and consummers - that sets them appart for other distilleries, and in general, industrialised consummer goods. Worth a visit for sure. Oh, and of course, their Whisky is delicious :)

Highly recommend a visit to the distillery. The coffee shop alone is worth a visit, cakes, teas and coffees are delicious. Very dog friendly too, with dog treats and even a dog menu! The distillery tour (1 hour /£18) is fantastic value. Thank you to Adele who guided me round on Sunday. So much information on the history of the site and the distilling process And who knew what a difference the cask could impart in the flavour and aroma. Plenty of tasters to demonstrate the different effects. Thank you to Adele and the whole team who made my wife and I, and Apollo our Patterdale, feel so welcome. I shall really enjoy relaxing at home enjoying a glass of Man Of Words, reflecting on a brilliant experience.

I can not recommend this tour, shop, and cafe enough! The tour is fascinating with opportunity to sample the spirits as well as observe and learn about the distillation process and fascinating history behind this historic property. The cafe serves fabulous food, with some offerings incorporating their own products. There are sandwich offerings, sausage rolls, soups, fabulous desserts, scones, a wide variety of beverages, and a wide menu for pets - which is one of the most delightful aspects here is their genuine love and appreciation of your furry friends! The shop offers all of their malts and spirits in a variety of sizes, with an opportunity for you to bring in your own 350ml bottle to be filled with one of their spirits. This distillery is very conscious of being ecologically considerate. By far, the most appreciated aspect of the Distillery is their staff. I especially need to give a nod of recognition and appreciation to Lindsey and Frederick who went out of their way to make an old man from the States feel like he was among old friends. Thank you!

Wow ! I have been to several Distillerys in Scotland, and this is now my best yet - Excellent cafe & food. Superb location & iconic buildings. Friendly and Knowledgeable staff. And best of all - the Whisky is unbelievable, I can't believe these Whiskys are not mainstream, so so good . Do please take the time to visit if in area ,but make sure you have a nominated driver, as the tastings take you well over the limit!

I've done a lot of distillery tours but this is one of the very best. Went for the 2pm tour but prior to that I'd booked into the coffee shop adjoining the distillery, the Maltings, seperate review, but its good. Only 3 of us on the tour which was great our guide, Ian, was fantastic. He was professional and knowledgeable. The history behind this distillery and the couple who brought it back to life are to be commended. On the basic £18 tour you get 5 different drams. The first before you start! The whisky itself is now one of my favourites having not tried it before. The shop is fantastic with plenty to choose from. If you're into your whisky then go, you won't be disappointed. I drove 170 miles to it and stayed in nearby Annan. Credit to all the staff and owners at Annandale Distillery its a credit to you.

We really enjoyed our tour with Adele - she was very friendly & informative! A great representative for the distillery :) Tasted some lovely whisky & will definitely look to come back again if we are in the area. Would 100% recommend

Popped here on a total whim after seeing a road sign on our way back from a trip around Scotland. So glad we did! Fairly short, but very informative and well presented tour. Lovely that it feels so traditional. Friendly staff. Outstanding cafe. Extremely reasonable prices. 10/10!

Took my Dad on the whiskey tasting tour we loved every minute of it. Joe the tour guide was absolutely superb very knowledgeable and personable, and Adele who was with him was equally as nice. Would 100% highly recommend a visit.

Great tour. Iain knows his stuff. The tour was very informative and we got to taste the different whiskeys which where all very nice!

We joined the whisky tour which was very informative. I was surprised to learn that this distillery actually a long history & interesting story behind it. We also got to try five different kinds of whisky which were all very good. In addition, the food in the cafe was scrumptious. Highly recommend!!

Thanks to Google Maps found this distillery while on a holiday to Dumfries. Dave the tour guide was very informative and it was good value for money with the tasters given. Well worth a trip to see this hidden gem of a little know distillery.

We stopped in on the way home from a walk and used the cafe. It was a great experience, the food was lovely and the staff were really friendly. The décor of the cafe is welcoming and has great links to the whisky industry. We didn't have time to go on the tour but did visit the shop and the assistant was helpful. Would recommend the food for sure.

After searching up a few distilleries for our trip into Scotland this instantly became the obvious choice. It didn't disappoint. We arrived right on time for a tour and off we went. The tour was fantastic and the samples more than generous. The distillery has lots of history to it and was an amazing story to experience. The entire journey from start to finish was fantastic and we highly recommend it. Thanks to everyone there for making our trip from Canada an enjoyable experience.

Afternoon tea in the Cafe could not have been any better ! 10/10 . Easily as good as any London hotel. No wonder they won best Cafe in that large county in 2022 ! One 3 layer rack of Savoury then 20 mins later another rack of Sweet 😜

Beautiful distillery with a very interesting history. Friendly staff and a great product. Will come again!

A great tour and wonderful cafe. Adele who took us round was very knowledgeable and friendly. It's always great to check out the smaller scale distillers and Annandale was no exception.

Visited on the 10th Sept 22. What a stunning little place and spotless. Even the toilets are amazing. Cafe do amazing sausage rolls. Had a guide called Dave who took the tour, very informative, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, what a delight it was to have him as a guide a credit to the company! I would highly recommend this as a place to visit.

Excellent distillery tour- set up to be family friendly and most informative. The buildings are lovely, frommthe old brick to the stunning woodwork. The ticket price was exceptional and the staff were lovely! The cafe gets a high recommendation too- lovely soup and scones.

We booked a table in the distillery cafe whilst on holiday we booked a whiskey afternoon tea and prosecco it was delicious 1 savoury and 1 sweet there was lots of lovely tasty fresh food the lovely lady who bought out our food explained what everything was we highly recommend you need to give 48 hrs notice and reserve a table well worth it
