The Edradour Distillery

From the Gaelic 'Eadar Dhà Dhobhar' which translated into Spanish means 'Between two rivers', Edradour is located in the Scottish Highlands region, in Pitlochry, Perthshire. Founded as Glenforres in 1825, the history of the distillery goes through several periods of absolute silence. In 1835 he changed the name to Edradour, only to change again to Glenforres-Glenlivet in 1920 under the command of William Whiteley, period in which the distillery was destined to produce malt for the blended King's Ransom, finally, the distillery would end up in the hands of the Pernord Ricard conglomerate that would sell it to Andrew Symington, owner of the independent Signatory Vintage bottling plant, in 2002. Since then the distillery has experienced a gradual growth, presenting high-quality whiskeys.

Edradour is a distillery of an artisan nature, the process for making whiskey has changed little for them in the last one hundred and fifty years. In addition to its artisan process, Edradour is the smallest distillery in Scotland and one of the most endearing, with only three workers in the distillery, including the General Manager.
