25L Traditional Alquitar Still

25L Traditional Copper Alquitar Still

For Serious Distillers and Larger Batch Production

The 25L Traditional Copper Alquitar is the largest model in our range and is designed for experienced distillers, educators and small-scale producers seeking meaningful production capacity while preserving the traditions of artisan distillation.

The Alquitar is one of the oldest still designs in the world and remains highly regarded throughout Portugal and Spain for producing premium spirits. Its unique design combines a vapour chamber and condenser in a compact, pyramid-shaped structure that promotes natural reflux and produces beautifully clean, character-rich distillates.

With generous capacity and excellent botanical versatility, the 25L Alquitar is equally suited to artisan spirits, gin production, hydrosols and specialised botanical distillation involving woods, barks and resins.

Ideal For

• Larger batch spirit production
• Artisan gin production
• Distillation schools and workshops
• Hydrosol and botanical water production
• Aromatic woods, barks and resin distillation
• Serious enthusiasts and small-scale commercial applications

Why Choose an Alquitar?

The Alquitar’s upright design and internal sieve plates encourage natural reflux, helping produce spirits with excellent purity while maintaining flavour and aroma. Many traditional distillers consider the Alquitar unrivalled for producing certain styles of spirits and continue to use them in preference to modern alternatives.

The ability to perform both simple and vapour distillation makes this one of the most versatile stills available for those wanting to explore a wide range of traditional distillation techniques.

Handcrafted in Portugal

Every Alquitar is handcrafted by experienced copper artisans using traditional Portuguese methods. These are heirloom-quality stills designed to be used, appreciated and passed down for generations.
