Scope and Content Barley ploughs, malt barn, Ardbeg Distillery, Islay, Argyll Ardbeg Distillery was founded in the late 18th century by Alexander Stewart, but is first recorded in operation in 1817-18. These barley ploughs are used to turn and spread the barley as it germinates and turns to malt on the floor of the malt barn. 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.
