Pot still whiskey is a type of distilled spirit made using a traditional pot still, a type of distillation apparatus. This method involves heating a fermented mash in a copper pot, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and then condense back into liquid form. Pot still whiskey is known for its rich flavors and complexity, often resulting in a smoother and fuller-bodied spirit compared to other distillation methods. Primarily associated with Irish whiskey, pot still whiskey can be made from a mix of malted and unmalted barley. The unique characteristics of this whiskey come from the pot still process, which allows for a greater retention of flavors from the raw ingredients. This style of whiskey is celebrated for its distinct taste and is enjoyed neat or in cocktails.
