Edradour distillery was established in 1825 in the hills of Pitlochry, Edradour, and maintains its artisanal heritage as one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries, producing a mere 90,000 litres per annum with a work force of three gentlemen. In 1982, Edradour was acquired by drinks giant Pernod Ricard, whereupon three quarters of the distillery's yield was initially used in the production of blended whiskies, notably including ‘House of Lords’ and the auspiciously named ‘King’s Ransom’. In 2002, Signatory acquired the distillery and Edradour concentrated its efforts almost solely, on producing single malts, often experimenting with various outlandish wood finishes, like a ‘Chardonnay Finish’, a ‘Côte de Provence’ and a curious ‘Tokaji Wood Finish’, among others. In 2003, Edradour experimented with a peated single malt, named ‘Ballechin’, with peat levels of 50ppm, launching it in 2006. This bottle of 2011 Edradour came from a single sherry butt after 10 years of aging, and is imported by Cottingham Group exclusively for the Taiwan market.
