Scope and Content Mash-tun inside distillery building of Edradour Distillery, Pitlochry, Perthshire Edradour Distillery was founded in 1837 and was the last of the small farm distilleries. It was still operating on a small scale in the late 19th century, and employed all the traditional methods and equipment until the 1960s. Milled malt is soaked in hot water in this mash-tun and stirred until the resulting liquid, called 'wort', is ready to be extracted and used in the fermentation process. To make whisky, barley is allowed to germinate into malt. This is dried, milled, and mixed with hot water to make wort which is extracted and fermented with yeast. The resulting wash is distilled to produce raw whisky which is then matured in casks. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
