In 1982 the distillery, once again in a bad state, was sold to Pernod Ricard subsidiary Campbell Distillers who immediately opened it to visitors. It continued to play a low-key role in blends until 1986, when it first appeared as a single malt. Edradour experimented with a heavily peated single malt, named ‘Discovery’, which went on to be called Ballechin. This is one of the most heavily peated malts produced outside Islay, with phenol levels of approximately 50ppm (parts per million), launching it in 2006. A new bottling of Ballechin has been and will be released every year, each time finished in casks made from different woods, once it has reached full maturity after ten years. The Edradour distillery has a huge amount of distillery bottlings – maybe the most diverse range of whiskies in the world. We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets. Edradour was acquired in 1982 by drinks giant Pernod Ricard. Following the acquisition, 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’. It was not until Signatory acquired the distillery in 2002, that Edradour concentrated its efforts, almost solely, on producing single malts. Renowned for experimenting with various outlandish wood finishes, Edradour has released various malts matured in some rather interesting casks, a ‘Chardonnay Finish’, a ‘Côte de Provence’ and a curious ‘Tokaji Wood Finish’ being among the number.

Edradour 10 Details

The distillery lies directly at the small Edradour burn. Some of the distillery buildings are located on the other side of the water and can only be reached via a bridge. During this ageing process the whisky is regularly monitored with the same hands-on care and attention that it took to produce it. Since purchasing the distillery in 2002, Symington concentrated Edradour’s focus, almost solely, on producing single malts, many of them matured entirely or finished in a variety of interesting casks.
