Single Malt Whisky(ey) A
whisky(ey) made from malted barley and from one distillery
Malting Barley: (The malting
process converts the barley’s starch into sugar.) Barley is taken in
from the field and spread out on a floor where it is soaked with water
and allowed to germinate. The barley is turned during germination
providing a consistent product.
Kiln Building: The germinated
barley is then moved to a kiln building housing a fire in the lower
level. Smoke from this fire rises and enters the chamber containing the
barley. The smoke stops the germination and flavours the barley. Glenora
Distillers contracts the malting process to an outside source, however
the barley is malted to Glenora's specification's.
The Grist
Mill: Once Glenora receives the barley it is ground in the Grist Mill.
This is the first step in separating the sugar (the flour like
substance) from the husks.
The Mashhouse: The grist is
soaked and stirred in the mash ton where hot water dissolves the sugar.
The sugar-flavoured water seeps through many small slits in the floor of
the mash ton. The solids left behind are off loaded to local farmers for
cattle feed.
The Wash-house: From the mash ton, the
sugar-flavoured liquid (the wort) is cooled before it flows into the
washbacks. Added yeast converts the sugar to a 9% alcohol. As favorable
as this liquid may be, we don’t want to age water; so it must be
distilled.
The Still-house: Distilling separates the water
from the alcohol. The copper pots stills heat the 9% liquid to a boil.
Because alcohol boils before water the alcohol vapors rise first, they
are collected and then cooled back into a liquid. During this first
distillation the liquids alcohol is converted from 9% to 22% alcohol.
This process is repeated in the second and final distillation converting
the alcohol from 22% to 70%.
Maturing Whisky: Oak barrels
are filled with the "New Make" Each barrel is numbered and stored in the
warehouse for maturation. A spirit must age a minimum of 3 years in wood
before it can be called a whisky

Whisky Tasting Tip
The best way to discover the true flavour of a
whisky is to nose it - not taste it. While the first sip has the
tendency to stun your taste buds with its shock of alcohol, the aroma is
able to reveal all of the spirits individual personality traits without
any interference.
Just
give the whisky a good swirl and breathe.
