Edradour in the picturesque Highland town of Pitlochry is one of Scotland’s smallest and most charming whisky distilleries. Founded in 1825, the distillery was taken over in 1982 by Pernod Ricard, who sold Edradour to Andrew Symington’s Signatory Vintage in 2002. Symington wanted his own distillery to offset supply risks and give his company a source of new make spirit to trade with other distilleries.

Edradour distillery was truly tiny in 2002, with a production capacity of less than 100,000 litres per annum, but the success of the Symington era enabled expansion, with a second distillery opening onsite in 2018 and an increased capacity of around 250,000 litres per annum. Aside from the official 10-year-old and a new peated Edradour whisky named Ballechin, Symington has bottled hundreds of Edradour single cask whiskies from his inventory, the majority finished in different wine casks.
