Edradour & Lindores Abbey Teddy Bears

One of Scotland’s most picturesque distilleries, Edradour is believed to have been founded as Glenforres in 1825. This area of Perthshire was well known for illicit stills and farm distilleries that were well hidden and almost invisible to excisemen due to the terrain. By the 1830s the distillery name is Edradour and thus begins a colourful history of owners that continues with Signatory Vintage today. The issue with Edradour has always been its small production and mashtun of 1.1 tonnes that for many years was the smallest in Scotland. Since the craft distillery boom of recent times, Edradour is no longer the smallest by some margin, but the problem of output still endured. Especially, as Signatory began to expand the range including a heavily peated (Ballechin) distillation; all to acclaim. To address the problem, a second almost identical distillery was built alongside the original. This inventive approach has ensured the idyllic original Eradour remains unscathed and as consumers, we have the opportunity to try more whisky.
