Scope and Content Control panel in mash house, Tormore Distillery, Highland Tormore was the first new distillery to be built in Scotland in the 20th century. It was designed by architect Sir Albert Richardson, a past president of the Royal Academy and completed in 1960. In 1972 the number of stills was increased from four to eight, and it continues to produce spirit for the 'Long John' blends. This shows the control panel in the mash house. This tile picture shows a flow diagram of the various heaters, holding tanks, mash tun and washbacks, and has small red indicator lights fitted into its surface. The diagram shows the flow of liquids through the system as malted barley is mixed with water, drained, fermented and washed to produce the 'wash' which will be distilled into whisky. Increased mechanisation in the distilling industry has led to the loss of many jobs as less workers are required to maintain computerised equipment. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
