Edradour Distillery

By Maltmannie

Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better – Edradour distillery is certainly proof of that. An early 19th-century whisky distillery, in the real farm distillery tradition, Edradour distillery is well worth a visit.

The malt barn has been converted into a visitors’ centre in recent years, illustrating the draw and popularity of the tiny Edradour distillery for both whisky enthusiasts and tourists keen to take a wee bit of Scotland home.

Edradour Distillery History

It was 2002 when Edraour distillery became under Scottish ownership once more. This is just one element that makes the working distillery worthy of interest. The old, really easy to understand whisky-making equipment makes the site a truly memorable for young and old visitors.

Where Can We Find Edradour Distillery?

Arguably Scotland’s most picturesque distillery, Edradour distillery is based near and above Pitlochry. The history of Edradour distillery goes back to 1837, with its original establishment in 1825 by a group of Perthshire farmers. And we are lucky that the distillery still exists – it’s thanks in part to William Whitely, known locally as the ‘dean of the distillers’ that it does. He is one of the characters of the distilling industry in the early 1920s – their equivalent of Richard Branson perhaps?
