This means that the distillery does not have to pay duty (tax) on the whisky whilst it is maturing or being bottled. Cask bung and bung hole.

Climate affects the rate of maturation. a hot climate, for example, will accelerate Condenser whisky's ageing process and the angel's share. The function of a condenser is to provide rapid cooling for the vapours coming from the stills. As they are made of copper they also act to prolong the complex chemical reactions already taking place within the still, and therefore play their part in contributing to the flavour of the finished product. Each distillery will have a minimum of two condensers (one for each still), but they normally have more. There are two different types of condensers; shell & tube and worm tubs.

  • Building a Home Distillation Apparatus
    BUILDING A HOME DISTILLATION APPARATUS A Step by Step Guide Building a Home Distillation Apparatus i BUILDING A HOME DISTILLATION APPARATUS Foreword The pages that follow contain a step-by-step guide to building a relatively sophisticated distillation apparatus from commonly available materials, using simple tools, and at a cost of under $100 USD. The information contained on this site is directed at anyone who may want to know more about the subject: students, hobbyists, tinkers, pure water enthusiasts, survivors, the curious, and perhaps even amateur wine and beer makers. Designing and building this apparatus is the only subject of this manual. You will find that it confines itself solely to those areas. It does not enter into the domains of fermentation, recipes for making mash, beer, wine or any other spirits. These areas are covered in detail in other readily available books and numerous web sites. The site contains two separate design plans for the stills. And while both can be used for a number of distillation tasks, it should be recognized that their designs have been optimized for the task of separating ethyl alcohol from a water-based mixture. Having said that, remember that the real purpose of this site is to educate and inform those of you who are interested in this subject. It is not to be construed in any fashion as an encouragement to break the law. If you believe the law is incorrect, please take the time to contact your representatives in government, cast your vote at the polls, write newsletters to the media, and in general, try to make the changes in a legal and democratic manner.

    WHISKY LIST 5 High-Quality Barrel-Proof Bourbons to Try Now Barrel-proof bourbon consistently wins over our blind tasting panel with its full avors and ample character. The annual Top 20 list typically features a number of punch-packing drams, like 2020 Whisky of the Year Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B520. But we're constantly reviewing the latest barrel-proof bourbons, including these ve outstanding examples, which all scored 94 points in the most recent Buying Guide. WHISKY LIFE Why Justied is the Greatest Whiskey Show of All Time Many TV shows depict characters enjoying whiskey, but none emphasize it quite like "Justied." Set in Kentucky, the FX show frequently featured bourbon over its six seasons, using it to develop characters and shade in the world it was building. We spoke to the show's lead production designer about the whiskey's starring role, as well as to actor Walton Goggins, who consumed his fair share of great pours while playing Boyd Crowder (and look for a prole of Goggins in the Spring 2021 issue hitting newsstands March 23). A worker at Akkeshi Distillery in Hokkaido, Japan checks the spirit safe, positioned beneath a Shinto shrine. A new set of voluntary regulations will, for the rst time, provide a denition for Japanese whisky. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images) NEWS Japanese Whisky Finally Gets A Denition, But It’s Complicated Long prized for its elegance and rarity, Japanese whisky never had the stylistic denition that helps shape bourbon, scotch, and other categories. That is, until now. Japanese distillers have banded together to outline labeling requirements for Japanese whisky and while the move helps to solidify standards, it also leaves some inventive producers out.
