The Edradour, founded in 1825 by a
farmer cooperative, is the smallest malt whisky distillery in
Scotland and the last of the original 'farm' distilleries in
Perthshire. You'll find the distillery nestling in a pocket glen in
the hills above Pitlochry that form the Southern Highlands. The name
Edradour is derived from the Gaelic "Edred dobhar” the stream
of King Edred.
The neat cluster of buildings,
virtually unchanged in the last 150 years, houses the distilling
equipment that can just about produce commercial quantities of 12
casks a week.
The Edradour is operated on very
traditional methods and equipment the distillery operates the last
remaining Morton refrigerator to cool the worts employing just three
men.
The precise shape and size of the still
is maintained to preserve the character of the whisky so when
replacements are needed, the new stills are reproduced exactly to the
shape of the originals - right down to the dents which have been
acquired over the years.
