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.
