Over the past 7 1/2 years the iStill Blog has become the industry’s largest library of modern craft distilling information. Last year, 2020, saw another strong increase in visitors and views. Here are the statistics (with 2019 between brackets):

• 272 new posts (212);

We are incredibly proud of the continued success and growth of the iStill Blog. It reaches tremendous amounts of people. Over 150 visitors per day use the iStill Blog to investigate and research and learn.

In 2020, these were the five most popular articles:

1. Odin improves a poorly designed still!
2. Odin’s opinion (9): legacy still manufacturers BS!
3. Plated still by iStill!
4. FTOD 2015: Odin on whiskey column design (1)
5. Potstill by iStill!

Posts from yesteryear that keep on going strong are:

1. Homepage/archives;
2. Odin’s easy gin;
3. About iStill.

Please rest assured that the iStill Blog will remain pivotal in our efforts to further empower the craft distilling industry. Us sharing more and better information translates into you, as a craft distiller, being able to make better choices and better decisions.

If you have have stories to share or topics you want us to investigate, please reach out to our CEO directly, via Odin@iStillmail.com.

Accelerated growth – this is what the diffusion of innovation looks like:

We are down to only five iStill Minis from the last batch of 100 that we produced. When you want to order and are in a hurry, now is the time, since current stock is almost depleted. If you are late to the party, please know that we’ll start producing a new batch of iStill Minis only in January 2021, with delivery not starting before mid-Februari 2021.

Due to us changing and upgrading our manufacturing processes, lead times have been brought down from four to around two months. That’s for pretty much all production units, save the iStill 5000, which continues to have a 4 month lead time.

Please be informed, that we’ll close shop between December 21st and January 2nd. With the Covid-19 pandemic and many more craft distillers choosing iStill, the team hasn’t had much of a summer holiday. Time to catch up and recharge a bit, during the last two weeks of December!

And before we forget, we wish you:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Yes! In like half a year from now!
