Season 1, Episode 5b – Distillation

We finished off the last episode exploring charge levels and questioning what effect the amount of liquid in the still might have on the distillation process.

Now we get in to the nitty gritty of still shapes, lyne arms, condensers and heating systems. What part do these elements play in the great scheme of whisky production?

Distillation might be the most identifiable and obvious part of the whisky-making process but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t full of complexity, subtlety and nuance.

Pour yourself a dram and join us on our journey through the stills.
