Capel still


Capel still is a form of hybrid pot/column still used in Chile to make pisco. See pisco. It combines a cylindrical pot, topped with a globular still head, with a rectifying column through which distillate may be (but does not have to be) routed. It takes its name from Capel, the giant Chilean pisco-producing cooperative. See also still, hybrid.
