Pot Still Masterclass

Only a century ago, Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey accounted for over 80% of the world's whiskey supplies. Nowadays, they are rebuilding this once world famous style, which is uniquely Irish, made from malted & unmalted barley and triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills.
