Making of Whisky: Peat fire / Highland Park
To stop the germination, the malt is dried on a mesh over a peat fire. This is done in the Malt Kiln, where the malt is dried and roasted in a peat reek at a temperature of 60 degree C. The quantity of peat given to the fire is the second factor that strongly forms the character of the Whisky. This task takes about two days.

The Highland Park distillery in Kirkwall is founded on the site of a bothie once worked by Magnus Eunson, a famous smuggler, and a church officer by profession.It is said that Eunson used to keep his whisky beneath the pulpit in the local church. On one occasion, the gaugers came to search the church. Eunson had the ten kegs quickly removed to the manse, set in an empty room, and covered with a white cloth.
When the gaugers, after an unsuccessful search in the church, approached the house, Eunson called all his people, including the maidservants, and set them kneeling around the kegs, which with the cloth covering, under which a coffin lid had been placed, looked like a bier. He himself knelt at the head of the ‘coffin’, bible in hand, the others with psalm-books; when the officers entered, the attendants set up a wail for the dead. One of them whispered’ smallpox ‘ to the officers, who promptly fled, leaving Eunson alone for quite some time.
