The Old School Way to Distill Whiskey (And Why It Tastes Better!) Ever wonder why some craft whiskeys pack so much more flavor? It might just come down to the shape of the still! In this clip, we are breaking down the difference between old-school pot stills and high-volume column stills. Pot stills—which famously look like giant copper Hershey Kisses—are used for smaller batches and are heavily debated to produce a richer, more robustly flavored end product. While tall column stills with all their plates are great for mass production and high volume, there is something truly special about the traditional, small-batch pot distillation process. Do you have a favorite pot-distilled whiskey, or do you prefer the profile of column-distilled spirits? Drop your favorites in the comments below!
