Scope and Content Still-house, Bowmore Distillery, Islay, Argyll Bowmore is said to have been founded in 1779 and has changed hands several times up to the present day. The inverted funnel-shaped vessels are copper pot stills. The fermented wash is pumped into them and heated by steam coils 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.
