Abstract
Some benefits accruing from the application of brewing science to the production of Scotch Malt Whisky are described. The major function of a distillery laboratory is to provide meaningful information to the production units to allow them to function in an optimal manner. The major areas of activity are, to ensure that the raw materials used (barley, malt, yeast, water) are of the most suitable quality, that plant cleanliness is of the highest possible order and that the process is operated as efficiently as possible. The effect of lack of maintenance of these standards is described, as are the practices to be followed to ensure their maintenance.
