The "Carlton still" is a type of distillation apparatus used primarily in the production of spirits, particularly whiskey. It is designed to separate alcohol from a fermented mash through heating and cooling processes. The still typically consists of a boiler, a condenser, and a collection vessel, allowing for efficient extraction of alcohol. This method of distillation is named after the Carlton distillery, where it was first popularized. The Carlton still is known for its ability to produce high-quality spirits with distinct flavors, making it a favored choice among distillers in the spirits industry.
