Edradour distillery (Scottish Gaelic: Eadar Dhà Dhobhar, meaning "between two rivers") is a Highland single malt whisky distillery located in Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland. Known for its traditional methods and small-scale production, Edradour has been owned by the Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky Company since 2002, after being previously owned by Pernod Ricard.
Established in 1825, Edradour is historically noted as one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland, producing in a year what an average Speyside distillery might produce in a week. Initially run by three men, the distillery now operates with just two, producing approximately eighteen casks per week.
The distillery features a wash still with a capacity of 4,200 litres and a spirit still of 2,200 litres. Edradour's traditional equipment includes a 1.15-tonne cast iron mash tun, two Oregon pine washbacks, one pair of pot stills, and a 100-year-old worm tub.
Edradour is renowned for its commitment to traditional whisky production techniques. None of its whiskies employ artificial colorants, such as E150a or E150b caramel, and they never undergo chill filtration. This ensures the retention of esters and oils that contribute to the whisky's natural flavor and texture, even if this means the whisky may turn cloudy when chilled or when ice is added.
The distillery produces a variety of whiskies, including a non-chill-filtered 12-year-old malt. Some of this production is used in blends such as "House of Lords" and "Clan Campbell."
Edradour also produces a heavily peated whisky called Ballechin for two days each week. Named after a former nearby distillery, Ballechin has a malt peating level of 50 parts per million (ppm).
The origins of Edradour trace back to 1825 when it was potentially started by "some Perthshire farmers" under the name Glenforres. Over the years, the distillery has changed hands several times:
Edradour's historical equipment included a 1,000-gallon mash tun and four 1,000-gallon washbacks. The stills during its early years had capacities of 740 and 420 gallons.
Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky Company, founded in 1988 and primarily an independent bottler, acquired Edradour in 2002. The company is based in Pitlochry, close to the distillery, and continues to maintain Edradour’s traditional methods of whisky production.
As a small and traditionally run distillery, Edradour has long been a popular destination for whisky enthusiasts. However, visitor access and tours might be limited, focusing on the preservation and continuation of its historic methods.
Edradour remains a unique part of Scotland's whisky heritage, celebrated for its artisanal approach and the distinct character of its whiskies.

About Glenbotal
The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturaly: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from auctions, ballots, and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
