Scope and Content Dalmore Distillery, Alness, Ross and Cromarty This distillery is said to have been founded in 1839, but most of the buildings on the site date from after 1878, when it was acquired by Mackenzie Bros., who developed it on a large scale. This view shows a dryer for draff, the husks of the malted barley, produced as a by-product of distilling. There is a second one in the background. Note the steam engine on the right, which drove the dryers through a system of pulleys and belts. Dalmore was one of the few malt whiskies to be sold extensively as a single whisky before the 1970s. The distillery owners also had a noted herd of Aberdeen-Angus beef cattle, who were fed on the draff produced by the distillery. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
