Season 1, Episode 5d – Distillation Scots Whisky Explorers

We never thought that it would take 4 episodes to thoroughly discuss the intricacies of distillation but it has!

In our final examination of the distilling process we investigate -amongst many other topics - the spirit vapour-copper relationship, the weightier/heavier spirits from certain distilleries and how they differ in character, the advent of the spirit safe and what the foreshots are and where they originate.

We hope you've enjoyed our detailed examination of the distillation process.

Thanks for listening to Scots Whisky Explorers. Stay tuned for our foray into the warehouse to study the wonders of maturation!
