How are the wooden stills heated? Do you use a double boiler system? Or internal steam coils? I can't see flame applied to the outside.

It is just the packaging that is different. Initially we had the King of Diamond 12 years old. After the 15 years old was launched and it took the world by storm we decided to make the range hence repackaging the 12 years to extend the range of premium products, then cam the 21 and then 25.

For those not familiar with the term "sparger", This would indicate a series of elongated metal tubes with small holes along the length which dispense the steam to heat the liquid to be distilled.

How old are the original wooden stills and how do you maintain them?
