Nicknamed “Scotland’s little gem”, Edradour may have lost the title of Scotland’s smallest distillery, but it remains the most endearing. Nestled in the hills of the Scottish Highlands, it takes its name from the Gaelic “between two waters”, referring to the two rivers enclosing the buildings with whitewashed walls and red doors. Whether through the unique style of its whiskies, its troubled past with the American mafia during Prohibition, or the personality of its owner, everything is done to make you fall in love with this distillery which has managed to preserve all its authenticity since the 19th century. An original edition of Edradour’s single malt, this 10-year-old version has evolved considerably since the distillery was taken over by Andrew Symington in 2002.
