Scope and Content Ground-level plan of 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. Ground barley feeds from the grist-hopper (6) into the mash-tun (10). The resulting wort is pumped to the wash-backs (19,20) to ferment, producing wash. This is distilled in the stills originally heated by furnaces (31,45) until it is strong enough. 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.
