Edradour Distillery
A fairy-tale small distillery tucked away in a valley, with white-walled, red-doored farm buildings, once known as Scotland's smallest traditional distillery.
Founded in 1825, Edradour Distillery is very small and still uses traditional hand-crafted methods. Its white-walled, red-doored buildings nestle beside a stream and are very photogenic. Tours cover malting, fermentation, distillation and maturation in oak casks, ending with a tasting of single malt whisky, and the sherry-cask expressions are especially popular. Tours cost about £15–25 and must be booked ahead in peak season. From central Pitlochry it is about a 3 km walk along the Black Spout woodland trail, which makes a good round trip. Avoid driving after drinking.
