Arguing that the art of making whisky is all about embracing the inefficiencies of the pot still design. One of those inefficiencies is the massive heat loss at the boiler, this in turn prolonging the distillation process and increasing the conversion of yummy esters.
To achieve a similar result with a more efficient boiler design (stainless and insulated) would require you to cut back on the power and extend your distillation times.
Just some food for thought.
