Edradour
Region: Highlands
District: Midland
To visit the Edradour distillery is to take
a trip back in time when the "farm distillery co-operatives"
were common. Edradour is the last such distillery in operation
and dates back about 160 years. Besides being Scotland's smallest
distillery, many claim it to be the prettiest. Only three
people run the entire operation at Edradour, whose annual
total production equals about a week's production of most
Speyside distilleries. In a normal week, Edradour will produce
only 600 gallons and its total single malt production is only
2000 cases a year. Edradour's stills are the smallest permitted
by law and, other than the reluctant conversion to electric
power in 1947, the distllery is nearly the same as it was
in 1835, when it was founded. Enjoy the product of this most
unique and proud "institution", because it is indeed a rare
treat.
