Formerly known as “The Station Bar” the building was originally constructed by Thomas Campbell, a sea captain, who instructed a marine architect to design the building in the shape of a small ship. A pledge contained in the title deeds, made in 1963 by the owner at the time states that since Dr Beeching closed the railway in Aberlour then a name change was appropriate – but that if ever a train should pull up at the station again then the pub will revert to “The Station Bar”.
			The current name comes from the whisky and brewing industry and is the large vessel or vat in which the malted barley is mixed with water and yeast. Commonly these vessels are anywhere up to eight metres in diameter and up to 6 metres deep. In practice there are large stirrers that are mechanically driven inside a mash tun.
