Malt of the Month


scotchwhisky.com presents our featured single malt from Edradour Distillery, Pitlochry, Perthshire.   Website : www.edradour.co.uk
Owning Company : Campbell Distillers (Pernod Ricard)

Established : 1837

Malt Whisky Region : Highland

Visitors Centre : (44) 1796 472 095

The Whisky : This whisky is beautifully developed at 10 years with good body and a very floral nose.

The Distillery : Edradour is the last remaining of the Perthshire farm distilleries, and a visit (highly recommended) will confirm this 'farm' heritage - and the distillery's position as Scotland smallest. 


Tasting Notes

Edradour Single Malt whisky is hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky making.  Indeed equipment used at the distillery has  remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few. 

Colour :  Full golden
Nose : Peppermint, sugared almond, hint of sherry, spicy-smoky notes.
Body : Remarkably creamy texture for a relatively light malt
Palate : Minty-clean, creamy, malty
Finish : Mellow, warming

The Edradour Distillery is the smallest and one of the most picturesque distilleries in Scotland and tours are completely free of charge. If you're travelling north, it's about a 45 minute journey from Perth. Take  the A9 north from Perth and follow the sign-posts for Pitlochry. From Pitlochry, follow the A924 Braemar/Blairgowrie road 2½ miles  through the village of  Moulin. After climbing the hill and passing over a small bridge you'll see, on a sharp bend, the signs for Edradour. If you're travelling south on the  A9, the Pitlochry turn-off is just after the Pass of Killiecrankie.

The distillery has a well stocked souvenir shop which is open year-round except for 2 weeks over the Christmas and New year period. Please note that if there are more than 15 in your party, you will need to book in advance.

For further details please call the distillery on (44) 1796 472 095 or fax. on (44) 1726 472 002
