Chambered Charge Still (not seen since prohibition)

Post by 3d0g »

Beautiful brand new three chambered charge still custom made by Vendome for Leopold Bros. Had the privilege of seeing it up close last night. It will be used for rye whiskey.

Makes me think of the big stacks of plates seen on Armagnac stills. Very rustic.
The still is not a liar. Mash and ferment quality is 99.9% of your performance.

One of the members will experiment with the concept of a chambered charge still.

I've enjoyed their booth and talking to the guys at Vendome at the ADI conference, will definitely check out their booth again this year.

That summbish looks absolutely beautiful. Looking at the diagram though.. It's a Humper Thumper. A Double-Decker Humper Thumper.
