Whisky without copper? Pretty sulphury! 🥃⚗️ In traditional pot stills, hot spirit vapour meets copper walls over and over. Sulphur compounds bind with the metal, turning into odourless copper salts that stick to the kettle – leaving the new-make smooth and fruity instead of funky. 🔬✨ Copper conducts heat superbly and is pliable enough for distillers to craft those iconic swan-neck stills. 🛠️ In short: without copper, whisky would wrinkle your nose long before it pleases your palate. #itscopperinside
