Scope and Content Detail of furnace 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. These three coal fired furnaces originally provided heat for, from left to right, the spirit still, the wash still and for the hot-copper. The stills had to have special stirrers or 'rummagers' to stop the liquid from burning. 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.
