A whiskey still is a distillation apparatus specifically designed for producing whiskey, a spirit made from fermented grains such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat. Whiskey stills are traditionally crafted from copper, which enhances the flavor by removing sulfur compounds and impurities during distillation. There are two main types of whiskey stills: pot stills, used for creating rich, full-bodied single malt and traditional whiskeys, and column stills, which are ideal for producing lighter, more consistent styles like bourbon and blended whiskey. The design of a whiskey still, including its shape, size, and any additional features like reflux elements, plays a critical role in shaping the character and complexity of the final spirit. Whiskey stills are central to the heritage and craftsmanship of whiskey-making, producing spirits that range from smooth and refined to robust and complex.
