Edradour is a Highland whisky distillery located in the village of Moulin , near Pitlochry. It is the smallest traditional Scotch whisky distillery and the last remaining small Victorian agricultural producer. It is also known for its connection to the New York Mafia. Edradour was founded in 1825, as Glenforres Distillery, by a cooperative of local farmers. In 1938, Irving Haim, an agent of New York Mafia boss Frank Costello, became the major shareholder. On Haim's death in 1976, the company was sold to an American-Australian consortium of companies, and then to a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard in 1982. Since 2002, the distillery has been owned by Signatory Vintage Ltd. The distillery retains many traditional features and antique equipment. For example, the wort in the vat is cooled by the latest Morton commercial refrigerator, using only cold water. No process is computer controlled.
