Scope and Content Dallas Dhu Distillery, Forres, Moray Dallas Dhu was built in 1899 by Alexander Edward. It was closed between 1930-36 and the still-house was rebuilt after a fire in 1939. The upper level of the tun-room contains large circular vessels or washbacks. There can be between 2 to 14 of them. The wort is pumped into them from the refrigerators, yeast is added and fermentation begins. 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.
