Traditional Copper Pot Still for Artisanal Spirit Production

Craft Your Legacy: The Traditional Copper Pot Still

For centuries, the world's most revered spirits—from the peated single malts of Scotland to the elegant cognacs of France—have begun their journey in a vessel of iconic beauty and function: the Copper Pot Still. At Cassman, we honor this legacy by crafting pot stills that are the heart of any artisanal distillery, designed for producers who prioritize flavor above all else.

How It Works: The Journey to Flavor

The magic begins when the fermented wash is heated in the pot. As it warms, a symphony of alcohol and volatile flavor compounds evaporates and rises through the elegant swan neck. This vapor then travels across the lyne arm before entering the condenser, where it is cooled and transformed back into a liquid—the first distillate.

While a pot still naturally produces a lower-proof spirit in a single run, its true strength lies in the art of multiple distillations. This deliberate, time-honored process of double or triple distillation is what allows a master distiller to precisely refine the spirit, concentrating not just the alcohol, but the rich, desirable flavors that define a truly exceptional product.

Key Features & Philosophy:

• Unmatched Flavor & Aroma: The pot still is celebrated for its unique ability to retain the essential character and congeners of the raw ingredients. The extensive copper surface area plays a crucial role, naturally reacting with and removing unwanted sulfur compounds, resulting in a smoother, richer, and more complex aromatic profile.

• The Art of Batch Distillation: This is not a machine of speed, but an instrument of control. The batch-by-batch process gives the distiller complete authority over the spirit's character. It allows for the precise separation of the "heads," "hearts," and "tails," ensuring that only the purest and most flavorful part of the run—the "heart"—makes it into your final bottle.

• Built for Artisans: While the process is more involved than continuous distillation, it is this hands-on approach that defines craft spirits. Our pot stills are built for those who understand that true quality is a result of patience, skill, and uncompromising dedication to the art of distilling.
