Scope and Content Dailuaine Distillery and the Burn of Carron from north, Aberlour, Moray Dailuaine Distillery was founded in 1852, and has passed through several owners, suffered two fires in 1917 and 1959 and was reconstructed in 1884-7 and 1959-60. It is currently undergoing further modernisation. The distillery produces a single malt whisky which is used as one of the main components of the Johnnie Walker blended whiskies. This shows the distillery next to the Burn of Carron in the hamlet of Carron. The building (right) with the turrets is the distillery offices, with the tun room, still room and the large former maltings behind (now used for cask preparation). Malt whisky is produced by soaking barley and allowing it to germinate in the maltings before drying over peat fires in a kiln. The malted barley is then ground and mixed with water before fermentation and distillation into whisky. This is left to mature for at least three years in oak casks where the flavour develops further and the whisky takes on its famous golden colour. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
