Old website had details of the rebuilding of the distillery, its history and the plans for the future - but this has now been closed down.
The new website doesn't dwell too much on the history of Annandale, but has plenty on current production and details of how to visit the distillery. VisitingThe visitor centre is now open daily from 09.00 to 17.00 (Sundays 10.00 to 17.00) tours on the hour from 10.00 to 16.00. the centres also houses a cafe and small whisky bar. Standard tours £8.50, other tours available - check the website.
I had previously visited the site in June 2013 and June 2014 by appointment, and got some pictures. Vital Stats
The site was used as a distillery between 1830 and 1919, but has been a farm since then. Many of the buildings of the old distillery remained and have been rebuilt for the revived distillery which re-opened in November 2014.
