By the time I had completed the first edition of this short book Edradour was already evolving under the stewardship of its new owner, Andrew Symington.
Seven years later and much has changed. There is now a new bottling plant on-site, a conference centre, new warehouses and staff accommodation. The visitor centre and tasting rooms have swapped places and both have been refurbished and improved.
All these changes have been made with great care and without impacting all that is magical about this small distillery.
The whisky itself has also improved through an ever increasing range of expressions including Ballechin, a peaty whisky that was just being produced when I wrote the first edition of this book.
With so much happening at the distillery it was time to provide an update but I’ve also received letters from all over the world from relatives of people who were once associated with the distillery and their memories of Edradour shine new light on the past.
This second edition of the history of Edradour includes new research and the memories of those who were kind enough to get in touch.
