Scratch and Dent Stills
The 2.5 gallon whiskey still is the perfect starting point if you're new to distilling. It's small enough to make quick batches, but large enough to cut heads and tails and get the hang and taste of distilling. Its design and versatility make it ideal for experimenting with different recipes, allowing you to try out and develop your spirits of choice. Also, it's great for refining previously distilled spirits, and creating essential oils.
The almighty 5 gallon whiskey still will make all your distilling wishes come true. Fermentation is a breeze in 5 gallon buckets and the heat-up time is fair deal. A typical run lasts for a couple of hours, and should product between 1 - 2 gallons of your preferred spirit. Its optimum size and efficiency make it by far our most popular product.
The 10 gallon whiskey still shines in the hands of the experienced distiller, who knows his mashes and takes his time to perfect his spirits. It needs longer to heat up, but promises to deliver between 2 and 4 gallons of liquid bliss. The still's impressive size and smooth curves make it a glorious work of art and functionality.
Why Copper?
The use of copper lends qualities to your whiskey and moonshine on the molecular level that other metals just can't match. Sulfur and sulfides are a product of fermentation and are unavoidable. These can carry over into your product and give it a bad taste and nasty hangover. Enter copper. There’s some fancy chemistry that helps convert and binds this devil to the still itself, preventing it from being carried off with your product. This is then removed when you periodically clean your still.

With our Pot Belly and Onion Head, it’s all about the curves. When you can free yourself from using rigid lines (like cylinders and cones) you can really manipulate the surface area of your still and therefore increase purity and flavor of your product. It also makes the process faster and more efficient. It’s just a lot harder to make a curved still. But we know it’s worth the time and the best distilleries in the world agree. You won’t find straight lines in the top shelf Scotch distilleries. You will find curves. Shapely stills. Because they know, like we know, it’s the best design.
