Our process

1. Malting

Once we have harvested the best grains from Scotland's golden barley fields, we steep them in water. This allows the grains to germinate and convert the starches into soluble sugars. The grain is then dried to arrest the germination process.

2. Mashing

Our malted barley is then roughly milled and added to warm water in a Mash Tun. A rich, sugary liquid called Wort is then drained and sent to the fermentation tanks. A quick mash process produces fragrant mineral flavours while a slower mash results in estery, fruity flavours.

3. Fermentation

We ferment Wort and yeast in our Wash Backs, enabling these ingredients to interact and convert into alcohol. A shorter fermentation process produces grassy, mineral flavours. A longer fermentation process leaves the alcohol with fruity flavours, from citrus notes to tropical fruits.

4. Distillation

Our rich, flavourful wash is distilled twice in copper pot stills. In the first distillation, we heat the wash in the still, and condense, cool and collect the resultant liquid, which then goes to the second distillation. The Master Distiller carefully cuts the spirit run to only collect the heart of the distillation.

5. Maturation

The mystical process of maturation starts in the cellar. Here our whiskies gain up to 90% of their unique flavour characteristics. We carefully select our oak casks and age our whiskies to get an exceptional taste that is distinctly Glenbrynth.
