A group of farmers (including Forbes) were the founders and the distillery stayed in the group’s related hands for over 100 years through John MacGlashan & Co and John MacIntosh & Co.

Although known as one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries, it was sold to the blending firm of William Whiteley & Co in 1933. This ownership status lasted for almost 50 years, before Campbell Distillers, part of Pernod Ricard, acquired the distillery in 1982.

It wasn’t until 1986, that the first single malt expression of Edradour distillery was released. In 2002, independent bottler Signatory Vintage bought the distillery and are the owners up to today.

The distillery still claims that it is one of the smallest in Scotland, producing around 18 casks per week, while a peated expression is also released under the name “Ballechin”, after the former distillery in the nearby area of Ballechin.
