Pure Pot Still

Pure pot still whiskey is an older term used interchangeably with single pot still to describe Ireland's most indigenous whiskey style, produced from a mash of malted and unmalted barley in traditional copper pot stills. The unmalted barley gives the spirit a distinctively creamy, oily texture with spicy, green fruit and grain notes that are unlike any other whiskey in the world. This style was the dominant form of Irish whiskey for most of the 19th and early 20th centuries before the rise of lighter blended styles. Today, it is experiencing a remarkable renaissance, with producers like Midleton, Redbreast, Green Spot and Powers leading a global reappreciation of pure pot still as one of whisky's great categories. Whether you're an Irish whiskey devotee or a curious explorer, our pure pot still collection offers some truly exceptional bottles.
