Dallas Dhu Historic Distillery

Highlights

• The malt barn – the long, long two-storey warehouse where the chief raw material – barley – was turned into malt.
• The kiln – where the barley was dried over a lightly-peated fire.
• The mash house – dominated by the mash tun, a great cooking vat, where the malted barley and water mixed to create a sugary ‘wort’.
• The tun room – housing the six great wash backs, where the yeast fermented the sugary wort into weak alcohol, called ‘wash’.
• The still house – the spiritual heart of the distillery, where the weak ‘wash’ was transformed into fiery spirit.
• The bonded warehouses – where the finished product was left to mature for at least three years.
