Whisky Nonsens

If you're a regular visitor of whisky nosing and tasting evenings you'll hear a lot of nonsens. Share with us those myths.

For instance: One of the most heard myths is that, if a still is replaced they put dents in the new still, where they were in the old one. Because if you wouldn't it would change the taste of the whisky. This is nonsense because with the same reason you could say: When somebody makes a dent in a still, the first thing you'll do is to repair that dent, because if you wouldn't it would change the taste of the whisky.

I've asked the chairman of Forsyths (coppersmith) in the Speyside and he told me that they don't put dents in new stills.
