Their shape and height differed significantly from the alembics found in other Scottish distilleries. They had a smaller capacity and very long, thin necks matched the height of a giraffe! However, it turned out that thanks to this, the alcohol, during distillation, spends a longer time in contact with copper, which gives it a unique and exceptional character.
