When it comes to crafting exceptional distilled spirits, every aspect of the distillation process plays a crucial role in shaping the final product. One such factor that often garners attention from distillers and enthusiasts alike is the angle of the lyne arm. But what effect do these angles truly have on distilled spirits? Here we are happy to discuss it with you.

What is Lane Arm?

The Lane Arm is an important part of a pot still or reflux still. It is the pipe that connects the pot to the column. The angle of the Lyne Arm in a still can have a significant impact on the resulting distillate, affecting its flavour, aroma, and overall quality. The angle of the lyne arm can be varied and mainly includes lighter, common and fuller.

How the angle of the Lyne Arm can affect the distillate?

A lighter angle (a more upward-facing Lyne Arm) tends to promote the collection of lighter, more volatile compounds, including some of the heads. This can lead to a cleaner and purer hearts cut but may result in a milder flavour profile.
 
A fuller angle (a more horizontal or downward-facing Lyne Arm) can encourage the collection of heavier compounds, including some of the tails. This can result in a fuller-bodied distillate with more complex flavours but may require more careful separation to avoid undesirable elements.
 
Aroma: The angle of the Lyne Arm can influence the aroma of the distillate. A steeper angle may result in a more subtle and delicate aroma, while a shallower angle can produce a more pronounced and complex bouquet.
