Triple Distilled Single Malt Spanish Brandy Cask

245 litres | Distilled 22.11.2022 | Bond Code CW000855

Specially sourced high quality Spanish Brandy casks recently filled with Triple Distilled Single Malt spirit from the Great Northern Distillery.

Great Northern Distillery source Irish barley which is malted in Ireland. The grains are wet milled, breaking open the grains to form a grist. Mashing is when this grist is mixed with hot water in the lauter tun which then turns the starch into a sugary liquid called wort. The wort is then converted into a beer-like liquid once yeast is added. The yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and it's now called wash. The wash is then double distilled in Great Northern’s giant copper pot stills. The spirit is put into cask at 63% ABV.

FAQs

How many years does triple distilled whiskey take?

Triple distillation refers to the number of times a spirit passes through a still, not the number of years of maturation. There is no mandatory maturation period linked to triple distillation. Irish whiskey, which commonly uses triple distillation, must be aged for a minimum of three years in wooden casks by law, the same minimum as Scotch. The additional distillation pass produces a lighter, more refined new make spirit that may require less time in wood to achieve balance, though age statements are determined independently.

How to know if whiskey is triple distilled?

Check the producer's label, technical notes, or official website: most distilleries that triple distil specifically flag this as a production credential. Irish distilleries including Bushmills and Jameson triple distil as standard practice and will state this. The flavour profile of triple distilled whiskey tends toward lighter, more refined, and less raw character than double distilled expressions at the same age, though this is a stylistic tendency rather than a reliable diagnostic. Always refer to official production information.

Is triple distilled whiskey better?

Not categorically. Triple distillation produces a lighter, more refined new make spirit by removing more congeners with each successive distillation pass. This creates a softer, cleaner base spirit. Whether this is better depends on what you value: Scotch single malts, which are double distilled, can achieve significantly more complexity and character through their congener content than triple distilled Irish expressions. The best whiskey is the one whose character you prefer, regardless of the number of distillation passes.

What does triple distilled whiskey mean?

Triple distilled whiskey has passed through a copper still three times rather than the standard two. Each distillation pass concentrates alcohol and selectively removes unwanted congeners, producing a progressively purer and lighter spirit. Irish whiskey distilleries including Bushmills, Midleton, and Teeling use triple distillation as standard. The resulting new make is lighter, cleaner, and more neutral than double distilled spirit, which influences the maturation character and makes Irish whiskey broadly more approachable than heavily congener rich double distilled Scotch.
