Well they call it “pure pot still single malt whiskey”. In theory “pot still” is just a name for the form of the still, not for the composition of the mash (although of course it’s true that pot still whiskey such as Redbreast are made of malted and unmalted barley)

Sadly, Cooley’s use of the term “pot still” is not in accordance with the historic usage. Tyrconnell is a single malt (malted barley only) and not a classic “pot still” made with the mix of malted and unmalted barley.

Thanks for stopping by, John. It’s a pure pot still single malt, as Tyrconnell describes it on their website. So both malted and unmalted grains are used and distilled (as a mixed batch) in a pot still.

Did you mean “Single Malt”, not “Pure Pot Still”?

I would love to try this one. Too bad we’ll never see it here in the U.S.
