Tequila Stills

Tequila stills come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and scale. This is one of the beautiful points of differentiation for the creation of each Tequila brand. The process and theory behind distillation is the same but different equipment and approaches, bring out different flavors and expressions.

Some even have copper elements inside of a stainless body! Pictured here are a charentais pot still, copper pot stills, and stainless steel pot still.
