Scope and Content Grain dressing machine inside mill room of Bruichladdich Distillery, Islay, Argyll Bruichladdich Distillery was built in the 1880s. It is a good example of a distillery in one go to a carefully thought out plan. This grain dressing machine is used to clean the dried malt and remove its impurities. To make whisky, barley is allowed to germinate into green malt. This is dried, milled, and mixed with hot water to make wort which is extracted and fermented with yeast. The results are distilled to produce raw whisky which is then matured in casks. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
