Edradour is known as one of the smallest traditional distilleries in Scotland. It produces only 90,000 liters a year, the quantity that one of the largest distilleries produces in a week. Currently the distillery has a cast iron mash tin, two Oregon pine washbacks and two pot stills. Since 2004, it has sold a series of single malts in 50 cl bottles, finished in barrels containing different wines or distillates.
Its history is quite troubled, we list here some historic stages of the distillery:
1825 - This year the creation of a distillery called Glenforres, by some farmers from Perthshire, is traced.
1837 - It is the first year in which Edradour is mentioned.
1841 - The farmers form a company, the John MacGlashan & Co.
1886 - The American company J. G. Turney & Sons buys Edradour through its subsidiary William Whitely & Co.
1922 - William Whitely purchases the distillery to be able to produce its blended whiskies. The distillery is renamed Glenforres-Glenlivet.
1975 - Pernod Ricard purchases Campbell Distilleries.
1982 - Campbell Distilleries buys Edradour and builds a visitor center.
2002 - The Edradour is bought by Andrew Symington on behalf of the Signatory Scotch Whisky.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
