Scope and Content Plan of distillery plant of Laphroaig Distillery (around 1920), Isle of Islay The Laphroaig Distillery started in the mid 19th century as part of a farm. It is a good example of the kind of distillery which emerged after changes in the law in 1816 and 1823, and developed slowly to become a large commercial complex. Around 1920, the main parts of the distillery plant were: a malt barn (1) for germination; kilns for drying green malt (4); a mill room (6); a mash house for extracting wort (8); a tun room for distillation (13) and a still house for distillation (14). 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.
