EDRADOUR

Edradour is renowned as the smallest distillery in Scotland and considered one of the most peculiar. 

The history of Edradour Distillery dates back to 1825 when a cooperative of farmers found a distillery originally called Glenforres.

It's 1837 when the farmers Cooperative becomes official tenant of the Distillery and Edradour is mentioned for the first time: Edradour - "The land between two rivers".

In 1841 the Edradour farmers form John McGlashan and Co.

From 1884 to 1846 John McIntosh & Co. acquires Edradour and the distillery begins to thrive.

In 1933 there is another change in the property tenants, when William Whiteley & Co. buys the distillery; in 1982 Campbell Distilleries (Pernod Ricard) buys Edradour Distillery and builds a Visitor Center, which is nowadays offers tours and a shop.

1986 is the first year that a single malt is released at Edradour Distillery.

In 2002, after 15 years as an independent bottler, Andrew Symington buys Edradour Distillery, after few attempts to buy distilleries like Scapa, Glenturret and Ardberg.
After buying Edradour Distillery, Symington from Signatory, expands production range with a 10yo and a 13 yo cask strength.

The success of the distillery has been so big that there are plan to build a second one with two new stills.
Edradour is a very busy place, also because this distillery is among the most picturesque in Scotland.
