Why iStill

Built by people who care how distilling works.

iStill began in the Netherlands in 2012 with a question: how do you make excellent spirits repeatably? That question still connects the engineering, equipment and education we share with distillers today.

33 Questions on Taste-Rich Distilling

A free, no-nonsense guide written by Odin, founder of iStill, that explains what actually shapes flavor and where most distillers go wrong when it comes to fermentation, cuts, and still design.

Challenge your assumptions:

  • Why 80% of flavor is created before distillation even starts
  • What most people misunderstand about cuts
  • Why copper is not the magic material people often assume it is
  • How still design really affects taste—and when it does not
  • The small mistakes that quietly ruin good spirits

A fun read I finished in one evening. I cannot look at distilling the same way anymore.

I recommend it to everyone I know. It is valuable for beginners and master distillers alike.

I expected it to be long and dry, but it is engaging and easy to read.

A great starting point for the iStill course.
