Achieve up to 95% ABV
Revival's compact multi-column continuous stills can be operated using all three columns to produce 95% ABV beverage alcohol. Alternatively, turn off one or two of the columns to produce low wines or barrel proof spirits. The final column has several draw-off valves to allow the distiller to control the flavour profile and ABV of the collected spirit. The still is capable of accepting grain-in wash or lautered beer, making it easy to integrate into your distillery.

Continuous columns are designed to be fed by a continuous feed of fermented mash or beer. They are used by many of the large spirits manufacturers around the world. The most common spirits made using a continuous column are bourbon, whiskey, rum, and vodka. Although these larger continuous columns are great for bigger distilleries they are not suited to the volumes or varieties of spirits that many craft distillers are producing. That is why we have developed our new Compact Continuous Column that will fit within ceiling heights as low as 13 feet and can be designed to produce virtually any type of spirit.
