WHAT IS SINGLE POT STILL WHISKEY?
There are many different styles of whiskey, and single pot still whiskey is one of them. Single pot still whiskey is a style of Irish whiskey made by a single distillery from a mixed mashbill, such as a mash of malted and unmalted barley distilled in a pot still. Single refers to being from one single distillery, somewhat similar to single malt whiskey, however, this style became defined by the addition of unmalted raw barley being added to the mash of just malt. It is possible to add small amounts of raw oats or wheat, which may have been used at times.
The addition of the unmalted component gives the pot still whiskey both a spicy element and a thicker texture than the standard malt whiskeys. If the whiskey has been distilled by another distillery, then the whiskey can not be called single pot still, but can therefore still be called pot still whiskey.
Single pot still whiskey was once the most popular and sought-after whiskey in the world, and was regularly referred to as pure pot still whiskey, Irish style whiskey, or simply put in Ireland, pot still whiskey. The reference of calling it 'Single Pot Still' only came into life in recent years due to the United States Tax and Trade Bureau's objection to the use of the term "pure" in labeling food and drink, and Single Pot Still was added to avoid these taxations...
However, the term is not to be confused with the concept of creating whiskey in a pot still, as single malts, bourbons, and ryes can also be created in a pot still.
The Science of Pot Still Distillation
he process to separate 2 or more liquids from a mixture comes with heat, and these liquids have different boiling points. The wash is poured into a still, mostly made from copper and heated using steam. This wash would have multiple elements including malted barley, alcohol, water, and sugar.
The alcohol is the main component that we are interested in separating here, and the alcohol and chemicals evaporate first at a lower boiling point, and this gas vapour travels upwards. It is then directed into another tube and cooled by cold water flowing constantly. The gas travels through this cold tube, condensing back into a liquid, and is collected. Depending on the wash, some other chemicals are also evaporated.
The history of Single Pot Still Whiskey?
Whiskey has been distilled in Ireland since at least the 1400s and most likely as early as the 6th century. Single pot still whiskey emerged as a means of avoiding a tax introduced in 1785 on the use of malted barley. Although this tax was repealed in 1855, the popularity of the style endured until the emergence of blends in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In the 19th century, single pot still whiskey was the most popular style of whiskey in the world and formed the bulk of Ireland's whiskey exports, however, with Prohibition in the United States and the rise of cheaper, milder blended whiskeys in the 20th century, single pot still whiskey declined in popularity, and many formerly all-pot-still brands changed their production to become blends. By 1980, only two specialist bottlings remained in existence, Green Spot and Redbreast, with one in danger of being discontinued. However, in recent years, a resurgence in whiskey distilling in Ireland has led to the launch of several new single pot still whiskeys, such as Teeling Whiskey Single Pot Still Whiskey.
The standard definitions and regulations of Irish Whiskey also apply to Single Pot Still Whiskey, but in addition to the general regulations governing the production of Irish whiskey (e.g., geographical origin, aging in wooden casks for a minimum of three years), Irish government regulations stipulate that Irish pot still whiskey must be:
Distilled from a mash of a combination of malted barley, unmalted barley, and other unmalted cereals
Distilled in a pot still so that the distillate has the aroma and taste of the materials used
Made with a minimum of 30% malted barley and 30% unmalted barley
Types of whiskey distillery equipment:
The components of a pot still include: tank, swan neck, lyn arm, condenser, safe and accessory return.

Different flavors of whisky
The most representative classification method of whisky is according to the production place and country of whisky, which can be divided into: Scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, American whisky, Japanese whisky and Canadian whisky, of which Scotch whisky is the most famous.
① Scotch whisky
Scotch whisky has the characteristics of dry, full-bodied, full-bodied, round and soft, and is one of the best whiskies in the world. There are many varieties of Scotch whisky, which can be divided into single malt whiskey, pure malt whiskey, grain whiskey and blended whiskey according to different brewing methods.
② Irish Whiskey
The Irish Whiskey Irish whiskey is one of the most quintessential styles of whisky in the world. Irish whiskey is softer and rounder than Scotch whisky. This is because Irish whiskey goes through a 3 distillation process. Irish whiskey is also not roasted with peat, so there is no smoky flavor in the liquor, but there are obvious fruit and spice notes, and the taste is oily and smooth, and the wine is full-bodied.
The types of Irish whiskey can be divided into four categories:
WhiskeyPotstill (pot still whisky),
GrainWhiskey (grain whisky),
WhiskeySingleMalt (single malt whisky),
Blended Whiskey (blended whisky).
American Bourbon Whiskey
③ American Whiskey
The United States is the largest whisky consumer in the world. Although the brewing of whisky in the United States is only more than 200 years old, American whiskey is famous for its high-quality water, mild wine quality and aroma with charred oak barrels. In particular, American bourbon is world-renowned.
1)Bourbon: Bourbon must be made from a grain blend, with at least 51% corn in the blend. All bourbon must be produced in the United States, distilled to less than 80% alcohol, and matured in new oak barrels. Bourbon whiskey has a distinct coconut, vanilla aroma, full-bodied, semi-dry taste.
2)Tennessee Whiskey: Tennessee whisky is made in the same way as bourbon, the only difference is that Tennessee whiskey is filtered with maple charcoal before bottling.
④ Japanese whisky
The first real Japanese whisky was born in 1929. The only difference with Scotch whisky is that Japanese distilleries must be self-sufficient and there is no transfer of stock between major distilleries. Because of this, even the styles of blended wines are always a bit of the same root. Another characteristic of the Japanese art of whisky making is the particular focus on the aging process and variety of cask materials. Sherry casks, bourbon casks, Japanese oak casks, new casks, etc. Each barrel brings its own special scent: persistent, fresh, subtle, and even a combination of exotic aromas.
⑤ Canadian Whiskey
Almost all Canadian whisky is a blended whisky, with grain whisky produced by continuous distillation as the main body, and Rye Whiskey produced by pot still to add its flavor and color. Canadian whisky has a refreshing smell, a light and refreshing taste, and many North American people love this wine.
