Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fresh spring aromas with notes of peach blossom, apricot, pineapple, plum, gooseberry, kiwi, and grapefruit, accompanied by elderflower and linden blossoms. Underpinned with almonds, vanilla, eucalyptus honey, icing, and a hint of yogurt plum cake.
• Palate: Lively with hints of ginger, white pepper, and anise that emphasize the sharpness of unripe fruits and citrus. Sweet notes in the background, complemented by herbal aspects like green tea and tobacco leaves, as well as a mineral note that makes the whisky sharp and drinkable.
• Finish: Long and spicy with ginger and pepper, where sweet, herbal, and mineral notes intertwine with salty tones, awakening the desire for another glass.

Distillery/Bottler: The Annandale Distillery, founded in 1830 by George Donald, is located in southwestern Scotland near the town of Annan. After a long hiatus, the distillery reopened in 2014 and has since produced both unpeated and peated single malts. The "Man O' Words" series is a tribute to Robert Burns and is characterized by fruity and floral aromas.
