The Process of Making Malt Whisky
The process of producing malt whisky is divided into nine stages, these are shown shortly for informational purposes only
The Maltings looks at the conversion of barley to green malt via the now quite rare process of floor malting, and also covers industrial maltings.
The Kiln shows how the green malt is heated over a furnace to dry it out, to stop the malting process, and to add the flavour of peat to the malt.
The Mash Tun looks at the "tea making" stage of the process, in which hot water is used to extract the useful ingredients ready to be brewed.
The Washback describes the "brewing" stage of the process where yeast raises the alcohol content to about 7% in a beer-like substance sometimes called weak beer.
The Wash Still covers the first distillation, which raises the alcohol content from 7% to 21% and turns the weak beer into low wine.
The Condenser looks at both the wash condenser and the spirit condenser which turn the vapours coming from the stills into useful liquid.
The Spirit Still examines the second distillation, in which the mixed low wines and feints at 28% alcohol are turned into useful spirit at 70% alcohol.
The Spirit Safe looks at the stillroom's "mission control", the locked brass and glass box used to analyse the product of the spirit still and direct its flow.
The Warehouse covers what is arguably the most important part of the process of making malt whisky, the minimum of three years the spirit must spend in oak barrels.
We therefore supply simply the best of the best, quality that will not be equalled with ease. A true product for the connoisseur.
