Highlander Series 5 Gallon Copper And Stainless Steel Pot Still With 2 Inch Whiskey Column

$ 755.00

The Highlander Series 5 Gallon Copper and Stainless Steel Pot Still is a compact, traditionally inspired system built for distillers who want authentic performance without sacrificing portability or build quality. Designed in classic pot still form, this unit blends heavy-gauge copper, stainless steel reinforcement, and modern tri-clamp modularity into a still that is easy to transport, simple to operate, and built to last.

Constructed using TIG brazing instead of soldering, every joint delivers superior strength, durability, and resistance to thermal fatigue. Made from 16 and 18 gauge copper, this still provides excellent heat stability and vapor interaction while remaining compact enough for easy storage and transport. Paired with a 2" whiskey column and a Liebig-style copper condenser, this Highlander Series still is ideal for efficient, flavorful distillation in a portable footprint.

Why TIG Brazing And Heavy-Gauge Copper Matter

Unlike soldered stills, TIG brazing produces stronger, cleaner joints that resist leaks, warping, and long-term fatigue. Combined with 16 and 18 gauge copper, this construction ensures even heat distribution, consistent vapor behavior, and long service life. This is professional-grade fabrication in a compact, home-friendly form factor.
