All of the Miltonduff stills, three wash and three spirit, have the traditional, "onion" shape. They are approximately
15 foot high with the Lyne arm having a relatively steep drop at approximately 30°. The wash stills have a capacity of
18,000 litres and the spirit stills 17,500 litres. They are both charged with 17,000 litres. The wash distillation takes
5 hours and the spirit distillation 8 hours. The stills play their part in giving Miltonduff its desired character -
flowery with hints of peat, heather and honey.
