Edradour Distillery

Edradour Distillery, nestled in the heart of Perthshire near Pitlochry, offers a charming and intimate whisky experience. Often referred to as Scotland’s smallest distillery, Edradour has a rich history dating back to 1825. It’s a place where traditional methods are still very much alive, giving visitors a real sense of stepping back in time.  

What makes it a foodie (or rather, drinkie!) hotspot? It’s all about the whisky, of course, and the way it’s made. Edradour prides itself on its small-scale production, using traditional copper pot stills and time-honoured techniques. This results in a distinctive Highland single malt with a rich, fruity character.  

A visit to Edradour is more than just a tasting; it’s an immersive experience. You can take a tour of the distillery and see the entire whisky-making process firsthand, from the milling of the barley to the filling of the casks. The knowledgeable guides bring the history and craftsmanship to life, making it fascinating even for those new to whisky.  

And then there’s the tasting. Edradour offers a range of their single malts to sample, each with its own unique flavour profile. Whether you prefer a light and floral whisky or a richer, moreSherried expression, there’s something for everyone.  

The distillery itself is incredibly picturesque, with its whitewashed buildings and charming courtyard. It’s a lovely place to spend a few hours, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying a dram or two.  

For road trippers exploring the Scottish Highlands, Edradour Distillery is a must-visit. It’s a chance to experience the magic of traditional whisky making in a beautiful setting and taste some truly exceptional single malts.
