Experience the Gilford Still
The Gilford Still in Gilford, New Hampshire is the only four column Continuous Alcohol Still in the state. It rivals the Coffey Still design used by Master Distillers in Japan to produce the highest quality spirits.
Most all distillers use Pot Stills but each batch is a little different and the flavor profiles can change from one batch to the next requiring blending to meet targets. With the Gilford Still a continuous stream can be produced hour by hour, day by day with the exact flavor profile desired.
Sustainable Spirits
From field to bottle we strive to create spirits in harmony with the planet. The environmental benefits include recovery of distillers grain as a dry solid cake, not a mash slurry, for distribution to small local New Hampshire farmers for use as animal feed.
New Hampshire sourced Birch charcoal acts as the filtering agent for the final polishing of vodka and gin. After use, the charcoal can be applied directly to local NH gardens and fields for soil replenishment. Nothing goes to waste.
Since the Gilford Still is air cooled instead of water cooled, the water consumption is 70% less than conventional pot still distilleries. Finally the Gilford Still operates in a 45 foot tall structure using only gravity and a closed steam system rather than burning propane to power the process. This means the pumping of pure alcohol is not necessary and the risk of using open flames for boiling mash is eliminated.
