Edradour Scotch Whisky

Edradour Scotch whisky distillery is the smallest malt whisky distillery in Scotland

and the last original 'farm' distillery in Perthshire. The Edradour distillery nestles 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 distillery was founded in 1825 by a cooperative of farmers from the area;

distilling in the same cluster of stone buildings where Edradour is made today. The

minimum legal still size for a still at the time was 40 gallons, and that was size

selected by co-operative and has continued to be used to this day.

By 1841 the eight founding farmers decided to form themselves into an official

registered company known as “John McGlashan & Co”

Electricity was installed in 1947 previously the waters of Edradour Burn were used to

turn wooden paddles to generate power for the distillery.

The Edradour is operated on very traditional methods and equipment the distillery operates the last remaining Morton refrigerator to cool the worts.
