EDRADOUR DISTILLERY

The smallest distillery in Scotland, clearly showing its origins as a farm, Edradour likes to trace its history back to the beginning of legal whisky production in the Highlands in 1825, although the present distillery is believed to have been founded in 1837.  The distillery, at the hamlet of Balnauld, above the town of Pitlochry, is secreted by the hills.  It is reputed to have enjoyed much American custom during Prohibition.  One story maintains that it was later indirectly owned for a period by the Mafia.

Its water rises through granite and peat.  Edradour uses local barley and its stills are the smallest in Scotland, which must contribute to the distinctive richness of the malt.  Stills much smaller would not be permitted by Customs and Excise, for fear that they could be hidden from the law.  At one stage, Edradour’s whisky was quite evident in a creamy, spicy, vatted malt called Glenforres.  In the late 1980s, a ten-year-old Edradour was introduced as a single malt scotch.
