At Stokery Amsterdam, we embrace the magic of copper pot stills in our quest for the perfect flavor. Let us take you into the fascinating world of copper and distillation, where tradition and science converge to create something extraordinary.
The power of copper: More than just a pretty face
Our gleaming copper pot stills are not just a feast for the eyes - they are the heart of our distillery, pulsating with age-old wisdom and modern knowledge. Copper is not chosen randomly; it's the secret ingredient in our flavor symphony.
A dance of heat and flavor
Copper conducts heat like no other material, ensuring even and efficient heating during the distillation process. This precision in temperature control allows our master distillers to orchestrate the subtlest flavor nuances, like conductors of a flavorful symphony.
The purifying power of copper
But the true magic happens at the molecular level. As the alcohol vapors dance through our copper stills, something miraculous occurs: the copper removes unwanted sulfur compounds. This natural purification results in a cleaner, purer spirit - the perfect canvas for our flavor creations.
A breeding ground for fruity notes
Copper does more than just purify; it's a catalyst for flavor. Through interaction with copper, fruity esters develop, contributing to the complexity and depth of our spirits. It's as if the copper itself leaves a subtle signature on every drop we produce.
Reflux: The art of refinement
The shape of our copper stills, with their characteristic 'swan necks', creates a phenomenon called reflux. This process, where vapors condense and fall back, provides an extra layer of refinement. The result? A spirit that is both complex and balanced - the holy grail of distillation.
A unique character in every batch
Every time we distill, a thin layer of copper salts develops on the inside of our stills. This layer contributes to the unique character of each batch, ensuring that no two distillations are exactly the same. It's this subtle variation that makes our spirits so intriguing to connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
Tradition meets innovation
While we remain faithful to the tradition of copper pot stills, we don't rest on our laurels. We combine this timeless method with modern technology and insights, constantly seeking ways to refine and improve our distillation process.
Taste the difference
At Stokery Amsterdam, we believe you can taste the influence of our copper pot stills in every sip of our spirits. The smoothness, the complexity, the purity - it's all thanks to the invisible but indispensable role of copper in our distillation process.
We invite you to experience the difference for yourself. Taste our spirits and discover how the age-old wisdom of copper distillation, combined with our passion for innovation and flavor, results in something truly extraordinary. At Stokery Amsterdam, every drop is a testament to the art and science of distillation, where copper plays the leading role in our endless quest for the perfect flavor.
