Welcome to Aber Falls distillery!
On the right, we have custom-built 30-tonne malt silos, which store the grain.
There are six stainless steel fermenters. Two upright 5,000-litre vessels have a heating option, while four more conventional, slightly squatter 5,000-litre tanks look more traditional.
Next up is the mash tuns. Three waters (65°C, 75°C and 85°C) produce a sweet wort and one one-tonne mash is handled per day.
On the left are the 5,000 litre stainless steel wash backs. They do a long ferment, at least 72 hours.
Here is Gwirod, the 3,500- litre spirit still.
Meet Golchi! The 6,500-litre wash still runs for 5-6 hours.
This is the gin still. They do two runs a day.
Adjacent to the still house is a small cask filling and bottling area.
Unusually for a distillery, everything is bottled on site.
Out and underneath the production site is a small but atmospheric warehouse for whisky maturation.
One day this will be whisky!
