Column Malt

Column Malt Whisky is a type of single malt whisky that uses a column still for distillation instead of the traditional pot still. This method, also known as continuous distillation, creates a smoother, lighter spirit with a clean profile. While most single malts are produced in pot stills to capture rich, complex flavors, some distilleries have innovated by using column stills. This approach can yield a whisky that is easy to drink yet maintains depth and balance. An example is the Masthouse Column Malt Whisky from Copper Rivet Distillery in Kent, which highlights a unique twist on classic whisky production. Column Malt Whisky offers an interesting alternative to traditional methods and invites whisky enthusiasts to explore new flavor profiles.
