Why Are Whiskey Stills Made Of Copper?
The reasons are simple: the high malleability of the copper material allows it to be easily shaped into designed shapes and molded; copper transfers heat quite efficiently; and it is also corrosion-resistant. Nevertheless, the use of copper is indeed "old-fashioned", and the cost of copper is not low. This is a constant reminder that brewers are constantly experimenting with newer, cheaper, and more durable materials, such as stainless steel, which have been experimented with among American brewers.
Pot stills are made of copper because copper has good thermal conductivity and Extensible, so easy to shape. In addition, copper also acts as a catalyst and body Chemical action occurs, especially to remove the smell of heavy oil and sulfur.
However, early distillers who used stainless steel for their stills discovered a hilarious fact: the stainless steel material imparted a sulphurous taste to the whisky base, which was apparently unpopular with consumers.
Relatively speaking, the "safety" of copper in whisky taste has been historically proven, and now distillers are proving its previously unknown benefits through experiments. The properties of copper allow it to chemically react on the inside of the still to remove highly volatile sulfur compounds (mainly dimethyl trisulfide, an olfactory substance that contributes to the unpleasant smell of whisky) , and it also aids in the formation of esters, which are an important source of fruity aromas in whisky.
In summary, although copper materials are expensive, their excellent ductility, thermal conductivity and historically recognized stability make copper materials an indispensable part of the traditional whisky brewing process. The golden whisky flows out of the golden still, and the amber color is given by the oak barrels. This process is like a trinity, which is not impressed by the outside world. Technology is advancing all the time, but the soul remains the same for a hundred years
