Pure pot still whiskey is whiskey distilled by a pot still. The term emphasizes that the whiskey contains only spirits produced from a pot still, without being blended with column still whiskey or neutral grain spirits. They are typically distilled from a mixture of malted and unmalted barley, and thus can not be called single malts.

  • Pure pot still whiskey is whiskey distilled by a pot still. The term emphasizes that the whiskey contains only spirits produced from a pot still, without being blended with column still whiskey or neutral grain spirits. They are typically distilled from a mixture of malted and unmalted barley, and thus can not be called single malts. Unlike the term “single malt” in Scotch whisky regulations, the terms “pot still” and “pure pot still” are generally not protected terms with well-defined legal meanings. Whiskey producers have sometimes used the term "pot still" in the name or advertising for whiskeys that have actually been distilled using a column still for at least some part the distillation process. Although the pot still was essentially the only distillation method for whiskey prior to the invention of the continuous still, the invention of the continuous still made whiskey making substantially more economical, which – along with a number of historical factors including the Irish War of Independence, the Irish Civil War, and Prohibition in the United States – has led to a drastic reduction in the number of pot still distilleries in current operation. Apart from the Scottish single malts, the majority of modern distilleries use continuous stills. However, due to recent attention from prominent whiskey critics such as Jim Murray and the praise given to surviving non-single malt pure pot still whiskeys such as Redbreast and Green Spot, the style has seen a revival in recent years. For example, in late 2008, the Irish company Porterhouse Brewery announced that they would be investing 8 million euros in the creation of a new distillery in Dingle, County Kerry that will be devoted to the production of pure pot still whiskey in the traditional style.
  • Le pure pot still whiskey est un whisky irlandais fabriqué à partir d’orge et distillé dans un alambic charentais (un « pot still » en anglais). Comme un single malt, toute la distillation est faite dans un alambic charentais, mais un single malt utilise seulement l’orge maltée où un whisky irlandais utilise l’orge maltée et l’orge non maltée. Le rapport entre orge et orge maltée peut varier, en général on utilise 60% d’orge non maltée pour 40% d’orge maltée. Un pure pot still whiskey n'utilise pas les whiskys d’un alambic à colonne, mais un blend assemble des whiskys d’un alambic charentais avec les whiskys d’un alambic à colonne. L’origine de ce whisky remonte au Modèle:XVIIIe siècle. C’est un whisky de très grande qualité et assez méconnu. L’adjonction d’orge non maltée permit à une époque de contourner la taxe sur le malt et de réduire les impôts sur le whisky. On trouve les pure pot still whiskys sous leur forme « brute » comme le Redbreast ou le Green Spot, mais aussi mélangés comme dans les blends Jameson et Power's. Aujourd'hui, ils sont tous produits à la distillerie Midleton, située dans la bourgade du même nom, non loin de Cork, au sud-est de l'Irlande.
