The Science Behind The Madness

Our 4 Inch Column Still is used to distill neutral base spirits for Gate 11 Vodka and Gin. The continuous still system features copper packing with an exceptionally high surface area, giving the column over 40 equivalent stages of separation.

Our two 12 Liter Glass Reflux Stills is where many of our most special flavors are created. We use this still for botanical extracts like juniper, lemon verbena and orris root used in Gate 11 Gin. Using a different set of botanicals, we use this still for our absinthe distillations. And this still also shapes the flavor profile of some our rum components, through batch reflux distillation.

Our 475 Gallon Hybrid Reflux Pot Still is used for batch whiskey and agave distillations. This still contains both bubble-cap tray sections as well as packed column sections. It is used both for stripping runs as well as final cuts runs for these spirits.
