STILL HOUSE
SCOTTISH STYLE STILL & PAGODA
SCOTTISH STYLE STILL & PAGODA
The Bourbon Cathedral of the Great Plains.
The signature feature of the BlackFork Farms Still House is the Pagoda (cupola).
The pagoda roof evokes associations with Japanese tea houses and Buddhist temples. Die-hard whisky drinkers associate it with Scotland, and the forefather of the beautiful pagodas that fly over countless Scottish distilleries. Pagoda roofs over the distilleries have been the norm since 1889, when Charles Doig, the Elgin based architect placed the first over Dailuaine distillery. These would follow at Aberfeldy, Coleburn and dozens of others. BlackFork Farms installed a pagoda roof for its pagoda symbolic value.
Atop the pagoda, is a working weathervane with the old BlackFork Ranch logo. The arrow of the weather vain is fashioned after an Espontoon.
