Scope and Content Old Malt Barn, 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 Old Malt Barn, now disused, dates from the second half of the 19th century. The-pagoda like structures (right) are drying kiln vents. Though the sign-board proclaims 'White Horse Distillers Ltd est 1742', Lagavulin itself was founded in 1816. 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.
