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.

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.
