Scope and Content Detail of rummager mechanism in wash-still from Longmorn Distillery, Moray Longmorn Distillery was built in 1894. Its original waterwheel is now disused, however, in 1980, a steam engine was still in occasional service. Longmorn distillery still uses traditional stills heated by coal-fired furnaces. Each still has a stirrer or 'rummager' to stir the wash to prevent it 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.
