The Stills
There are two wash stills and two spirit
stills, which currently produce 1.6 million litres of alcohol a year.
The wash stills have a shape known as 'lamp glass' - where the neck of the
still is tucked in above the pot. The spirit stills are traditional in shape.
Both types stand, approximately, over 18 feet
tall with the Lyne arm on a slight decline into the condensers.
