Inspired on a photography of Neill Murphy "A Scot on Scotch" about Bunnahabhain

This is the large mill where Bunnahabhain malt is turned into grist.
Porteus was a brand of malt mill that began operating in the 1900s and saw its demise not long after.
It was made from high-quality materials and the parts fitted together beautifully. Their products were so good and lasted so long that they effectively put themselves out of business.
Porteus malt mills never broke and never needed replacing, and as every distillery in Scotland had one, there was no further business.
