I knew absolutely nothing about the commercial facility at Port Ellen and had no idea they produce such a massive volume of malted barley in what is really quite a precise process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015217478634912567.post-60010733622742734262013-11-08T22:15:01.075+00:002013-11-08T22:15:01.075+00:00Another excellent post, guys: thorough but readabl...Another excellent post, guys: thorough but readable. Matt, I can sympathise on the vertigo front!<br />I've just come back from a tasting with Bowmore's Eddie MacAffer and he went into some detail regarding the malting process. As you say, getting it right is critical if you are to guarantee yield and flavour.<br />I'm guessing the maltings no longer use the Port Ellen pagodas - which are also still extant from the distillery's heyday?<br />Thanks.Scotch Cyclisthttp://scotchodysseyblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
