Edradour Distillery, Scotland
From: Scotland Tourism
“Edradour is a little gem of a place, a
sort of distillery in miniature you want to
wrap up and put under the Christmas
tree” ~ Iain Banks
What is so special about Edradour?
For starters, it’s Scotland’s smallest
distillery, set in a picture-postcard
village. Located in Pitlochry, Perthshire,
Edradour produces a mere 90,000 litres
of Highland single malt a year, which is
a pint compared to what the big ones
rustle up. Dating back to 1825, Edradour,
stands alone as the last stronghold of
handmade single malt whisky from a
farm distillery still in production today.
Visitors see intimately how the making
of this handcrafted ‘Water of Life’
remains a living tradition in the twenty
first century. Watch whisky being made
first hand amidst sights, sounds, smells
and most importantly the exquisite
tastes you will always remember.
We had the good fortune to visit
Edradour, and the aroma of the freshly
malted spirit, created by a workforce
of just three men, is still etched in our
sensory album.
