Balblair distillery, Whisky distillery in Edderton, Scotland
The production facility operates with wooden washbacks and copper pot stills, drawing water from the Ault Dearg burn for whisky making.
John Ross established the distillery in 1790, and his son Andrew joined the business in 1824, maintaining family ownership until 1894.
The distillery maintains one of the oldest archives in whisky production, with the first ledger entry documenting a sale on January 25, 1800.
The facility offers guided tours in the former malting building, where visitors can explore the production process and purchase bottles.
The distillery relocated in 1895 to be near Edderton Railway Station while continuing to use its original water source.
