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.

The quiet rebels are the hardworking folk who make Nc'nean, and Amy is the distillery's Head of Sustainability. The whisky has been bottled at 48.5% after maturing in STR (63%), ex-Bourbon (18%), and ex-Maury (19%) casks.
Producer Description
"This year’s Quiet Rebels release has Head of Sustainability, Amy, at the helm. It’s moreish, creamy, jammy and absolutely delicious. Quiet Rebels Amy includes whisky finished in ex-Maury casks from a small organic vineyard in France who produce a fortified wine that is made in a similar way to port. The 60 year old vines are maintained with a variety of sustainable farming methods including agroforestry which involves integrating frees amongst the vines to improve soil richness. The farm also follows the biodynamic principles such as following the lunar calendar which several studies show is an effective way to determine the best time to plant and harvest crops. These ex-Maury casks have been blended with Nc’nean’s house style STR red wine and ex-Bourbon casks to create Amy’s dream bottling.
