DISTILLERIES

Edradour - Probably the smallest Distillery in Scotland Edradour is the last survivor of the "farmhouse" distilleries. It produces a highly rated 10 Year Old Malt which carries a distinct overtone of salt and seaweed more characteristic of an island whisky.

Blair Athol - Distilling at The Blair Athol Distillery has been traced back as far as 1798 when John Stewart and Robert Robertson founded a distillery which they named "Aldour" after the Allt Dour - the "burn of the otter" which flows from the slopes of Ben y vrackie. Today it produces a 12 Year Old Single Malt, with a mellow deep-toned aroma, a strong fruity flavour and a smooth finish.

Tullibardine - Sitting on the original site of the first public brewery , dating back to 1488 and the coronation of King James IV, the distillery has recently undergone a major refurbishment and now produces a very "easy drinking" malt. It draws its water from the Ochill hills opposite, renowned for their quality of natural spring water. It offers visitor tours throughout the year and also offers guests the opportunity to purchase various gifts from its well stocked, Scottish themed shop.

Dalwhinnie - Dalwhinnie Distillery is the highest distillery in Scotland at 1,073 feet. It is the producer of a classic full bodied malt with a delicate taste, drawing from the waters of the Allt an t'sluic as they have passed through the local moorland heathers. Dalwhinnie in Gaelic "The Meeting Place" is where in the past the drovers of the north and west would meet before driving their cattle south to the markets of central Scotland!
