My wife & I visited Edradour Distillery a little while ago and found it to be quite an interesting place but the trip was over rather quickly.However, we bought a large bottle of their delicious Edradour scotch and saved it for a special occasion!
We have visited Edradour Distillery two times. The first time was with a group of friends when were we staying in nearby Pitlochry and second time when we stayed in Moulin. The hike wasn't two far but there is a good car park for anyone unable, or prefers not to walk. The Distillery is very interesting and the guides well informed and passionate. We purchased a couple of bottles, which we had enjoyed at the tasting, plus a jar of the Edradour honey, which was lovely. It’s well worth a visit.
enjoyed the whiskey tasting and learning the process of distilling. The historic location has been around since 1825
this distillery is well worth a visit staff very nice setting lovely walks good we got given a dram it maybe the smallest distillery in Scotland but it is the best we will visit again drive from glenshee is stunning
This was the second distillery we called at on our tour of 10. Firstly, there's no denying the beauty of this small scale distillery, even if the whole place feels a bit 'twee'. I have visited many distilleries and it was nice to find a smaller site as opposed to some of the industrial feeling distilleries. We arrived early, so paid for our tour and were shown to the Whisky Tasting Bar with its impressive collections from The Signatory range - all at very reasonable prices!!Crystal was our tour guide, and she was absolutely incredible. She knew the answer to every question we asked her and explained the whisky making process better than most guides I've had in the past. She was honestly the high point of the tour. Considering Edradour's USP is its small size, it was one of the largest tour groups I have ever been on, and it was a squeeze at times for everybody to see everything - although the guide dealt with it well. The low point of the tour was when we visited the shop after the tour. I have never felt more pressurised into making a purchase in my life. There were more sales staff than I have ever encountered at a distillery shop, and they followed us around intently. A friend of mine was interested in buying a £50 bottle of whisky - he asked if there was any chance he could have a small taster before investing - as is custom in every other distillery I've visited. The staff denied this request and instead offered the unhelpful "it's peaty" as a tasting note. As interesting and enjoyable as the tour was, my time in the shop afterwards soured the experience. We learnt during the tour that it only takes 3 people to produce the whisky at Edradour. I estimate there were at least 8 sales staff in the shop - I think that tells you everything you need to know about where Edradour's priorities lay.
We hiked to this distillery from the Craighmor Lodge, taking in the beautiful scenery and waterfall along the way. You are greeted by a kilted guide who gave us a wonderful tour of this smallest distillery in Scotland. Great tasting room and gift shop. Of course we purchased a wee dram or two!
This distillery visit was part of our holiday package and we found it so interesting, being the smallest distillery in Scotland. The tour was extremely interesting and we definitely came away with more knowledge than we knew, the guide was very knowledgeable. There is a shop which is definitely worth a visit too.
Husband and visited with my sister and her hubby I can't stand whiskey but they had a great time I loved the tour and our guide was brilliant and very funny I'd certainly recommend this tour
What a wonderful place to visit if you wish to see how a traditional distillery works then this is the only place you will see it. The whole process is operated by 3 men and what they produce a year the big boys do in a week . Fantastic choice and range of whisky some to drink and some to keep . The tour guides are very informative as is the gentleman in the coffee bar all staff are very friendly . the visitor centre is now closed until next year
We had a great tasting and a great tour, thanks to our guide John! The distillery itself a small one, but tidy and such a good example of whisky making. Not only the produce their own and do some progressive casking and bottling, they own some precious cask upon Scotland, such as Bowmore 1970, which I believe have a better taste than the Bowmore distillery bottlings. Well done!
