is the smallest distillery in Scotland and also the last original &#8216;farm&#8217; distillery in Perthshire.\u00a0\u00a0Erdradour produces just twelve casks of whisky a week during production times.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" vspace=\"3\" align=\"left\" width=\"110\"

of whisky.\u00a0 Apart from being a bit early in the day, I&#8217;ve never developed a liking for whisky and it was all wasted on me.\u00a0 Luckily, there were others there to save the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 The Distillery was built in the early nineteenth century and still uses the same wooden equipment which is <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

height=\"110\" style=\"width: 85px; height: 110px\" title=\"Erdradour Distillery\" \/>used to mash and ferment the whisky in the same time-honoured ways.\u00a0 John Reid and his two assistants hand-craft Edradour without automation, using skills handed down through generations.\u00a0 The three men use standards and skills handed down over generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img

mature for 10 years until the whisky reaches the peak quality.\u00a0 With such limited production, Edradour can be quite hard to find.\u00a0 If you are in the region it&#8217;s worthwhile stopping at the Distillery to sample some.\u00a0 Tony&#8217;s mum is a whisky drinker so we took the opportunity to buy some for her.<\/p>\n<p>Helen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAY 4
