Kettle still

A Kettle still is a device used to distill alcohol, often associated with traditional methods of producing spirits like whiskey or brandy. It works by heating a liquid mixture until alcohol turns into vapor, then collecting and condensing that vapor back into liquid form. This process separates alcohol from water and other components, resulting in a purer, higher-proof spirit. Kettle stills are valued for their simple design and ability to produce rich, flavorful distillates because they allow for good control over the heating process, which influences the character of the final product.
