Glen Tarrach
A farm distillery malting its own barley, six hundred casks and no hurry.
Aberlour, MoraySpeyside
We grow the barley in the field behind the still house and malt it on the floor above it. There are perhaps a dozen distilleries left in Scotland that can say the second half of that sentence.
Floor malting
It is turned by hand with a wooden shiel, four times a day for a week. It is slow, hot work and it changes the spirit in ways we are still arguing about.
Visiting
Small groups only — the malting floor holds eight people and no more.
