Annandale Distillery Storyman, 46%

Price: 62 Issue: Spring 2026 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

A blend from this Lowlands single cask scotch whisky maker, selected in collaboration with Scottish actor James Cosmo. Pleasant notes of char and a whiff of peat on the nose meld with hints of sweet vanilla. Charcoal and vanilla, pepper spice, and toast on the flavorful, full-bodied, and well-structured palate. The finish is long and smooth, with more vanilla and citrus as the flavors carry on. Well made, flavorful, and balanced.
