BIG Five Taste Experiences in Highland Perthshire Edradour Distillery 1601 <p>Edradour is a unique, single Highland malt whisky, produced in Scotland's smallest distillery and hand made today as it was over 150 years ago by just three men who are devoted to the time-honoured methods of whisky making. <br /><br />The equipment used at the distillery has remained unchanged since the day the distillery opened and is only just capable of producing commercial quantities. Only 12 casks of whisky are produced a week, making Edradour single malt a rare pleasure for a fortunate few. <br /><br />Tours of Edradour cost only £7.50 and include a "wee dram" of Edradour in the Malt Barn where visitors are introduced to the history of Edradour and the whisky maker's art before a tour of the distillery enables them to see the traditional methods of whisky making.&nbsp;<br /><br />Distillery Opening Hours:&nbsp;<br />November, December, January &amp; February: Monday to Saturday 10am - 4pm<br />March &amp; April: Monday to Saturday 10am - 4pm &amp; Sunday 12noon - 4pm<br />May, June, July, August, September &amp; October: Monday to Saturday 10am - 5pm &amp; Sunday 12noon - 5pm<br />&nbsp;</p> <div><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/n5uCMcBbIk4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1" width="100%" height="600" scrolling="auto"></iframe></div> Blair Athol Distillery, Visitor Centre & Whisky Shop 1604 <p>Established in 1798 in the picturesque town of Pitlochry, Blair Athol Distillery is one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland.&nbsp; <br /> <br />Back in the 1850's Arthur Bell discovered that blending together several fine whiskies pleases more palates than one whisky unmixed. And to this day, each drop of Bell's is made from a select blend of fine malt and grain whiskies, skilfully married together by the master blender.&nbsp; <br /> <br />The unique flavour of Bell's Blended Scotch Whisky comes from some of the finest malt whiskies in Scotland - from the fresh, sweet malts of Speyside to the smoky sea salt of the Islands - all matured in selected oak casks for a richer flavour. The malt at the heart of the Bell's blend is rich, spiced and nutty (a bit like ginger cake), and comes from our home, the Blair Athol distillery. <br /> <br />OPEN&nbsp;for tours all year. &nbsp;Jan to Mar Mon-Sat 10am-4pm&nbsp;(Tours hourly from 10.00am until 3.00pm). &nbsp;Easter to&nbsp;Oct Mon-Sun 10am-5pm (Closed Sun 11th May). &nbsp;July&nbsp;to Sept 21st only: until 5.30pm.
