Description
History
The Glendullan Distillery is located in Speyside, not far from Glenfiddich, and is one of seven historic distilleries in Dufftown. Founded in 1897, its original buildings were demolished, and in 1972 new buildings with a modern distillation room were constructed. The two distilleries operated simultaneously until 1985, when the original facilities closed.
Production method
The process begins with the malting of the barley, during which the starches present in the cereal are broken down into simple sugars suitable for alcoholic fermentation. This occurs in three phases: maceration of the barley in water, germination and drying. Subsequently, the barley is ground and added again with hot water, extracting the must which will be fermented and distilled. The final refinement, including the choice of the right wood, is fundamental for the sensations that the distillate will acquire.
