Scope and Content This distillery originally dates to the early 18th century and ceased distilling around 1825. Barley is steeped, germinated on a floor (when known as green malt), turned to keep cool, then dried in a kiln to halt germination. The kilned, malted barley is milled to produce grist which would then be put through the 'mashing' process where the grist is heated in 'liquor' or hot water (producing wort) prior to mixing with more hot water and fermented to produce 'wash' to which yeast is added. The wash is heated in stills and distilled to produce whisky.
