FAQs

Is single malt a single pot still whiskey?

No. These are two distinct and separate Irish whiskey styles. Single malt is made exclusively from malted barley. Single pot still uses a mash of both malted and unmalted barley, which is specifically and exclusively an Irish style. Both are distilled in copper pot stills, but the grain bill difference produces fundamentally different flavour profiles: single malt tends toward fruit and floral notes while single pot still delivers a characteristic spicy, creamy, grain complexity unique to the style.

What does single pot still mean?

Single pot still is an Irish whiskey style defined by the use of a mash bill containing both malted and unmalted barley, distilled in copper pot stills at a single distillery. The unmalted barley is the critical differentiator: it produces a characteristic spicy, oily, creamy texture and a green grain, orchard fruit, and nutmeg flavour complexity that no other whiskey style replicates. It is produced almost exclusively at Midleton Distillery. Redbreast, Green Spot, and Powers are the defining expressions.

What is single pot still whiskey?

Single pot still whiskey is an Irish whiskey style produced from a mash of both malted and unmalted barley, distilled in copper pot stills at a single distillery on the island of Ireland. It is a legally protected term under Irish Whiskey Technical File regulations. The style was the dominant form of Irish whiskey in the 19th century. The unmalted barley contributes a distinctive spicy, creamy, full bodied character that is unique to Ireland and cannot be replicated in any other whiskey producing country or region.

Why is it called single pot still?

The name reflects two production characteristics: single, meaning produced at one distillery, and pot still, meaning distilled in a traditional copper pot still rather than a continuous column still. The term was officially codified in Irish Whiskey Technical File regulations in 2014 to replace the older informal terms pure pot still and Irish pot still, which had been used inconsistently. The pot still descriptor distinguishes the style from single malt, which is also pot still distilled but uses a different grain bill.
