Pure Pot Still Whiskey
Pure Pot Still Whiskey is an Irish whiskey made from malted and unmalted barley, distilled exclusively in pot stills. This type of whiskey is unique to Ireland and has a distinctive flavor with aromas of fruit, spice, and malt. It has a long tradition in Ireland and was once a very popular type of whiskey, though it is less common today.
A pot still is a type of distillation apparatus used in the production of whiskey. In a pot still, alcohol is extracted from the mash through distillation. The pot still consists of a large copper kettle (the pot) that is heated over a heat source. The mash is placed in the pot and heated, causing the alcohol to evaporate. The resulting vapor is passed through a condenser, where it is condensed back into liquid form. The result is a high-proof alcoholic liquid that is later stored in barrels and matured into whiskey. Pure pot still whiskey is a special type of Irish whiskey made from 100% malt and distilled exclusively in a pot still.
