Glen Ord supplies many distilleries throughout Scotland with malted
barley from its large malting drums.
Glen Ord was the site of an eight-year experimentation programme to
compare coal, oil and steam as means of heating the stills. From 1958
onwards, batches of spirit were produced by each fuel and monitored to
see if they varied; as a result, when the distillery's two previously
coal-fired stills were increased to six in 1966, all of them were fitted
with steam-heated coils.
