Scope and Content Still-house, Lagavulin Distillery, Islay, Argyll Lagavulin is an example of the type of distillery that gradually developed after early 19th-century changes in the law made commercial distilling easier. The inverted funnel-shaped vessels are copper pot stills. The fermented wash is pumped into them and heated to evaporate the spirits. These rise to the top of the stills and flow through the pipes to be condensed and then re-distilled. To make whisky, barley is allowed to germinate into malt. This is dried, milled and mixed with hot water to make wort which is fermented with yeast. The resulting wash is distilled to produce whisky which must then be matured in casks.
