Charente distillation units

　　Charentais style still: This equipment is a necessary still for the production of high-grade brandy and whisky. Selection of high-purity purple copper plate production. Adopt gas, coal-fired heating distillation or steam indirect heating distillation. If processing the original grape wine, it needs to be distilled twice to get the concentration of 68-70% (V/V) original brandy. Continuous distillation is not possible with this equipment.

　　During distillation in a Charentais distillation unit, as the vapors of the wine come into contact with the walls of the reflux retort, the gooseneck and the cooling snorkel of the distillation unit, the fatty acids in the vapors are chemically synthesized with copper ions to form “copper soaps”, which are separated out and enter the original wine. Copper and copper compounds “copper soap”, can make the original brandy in a variety of favorable components to accelerate the transformation of the generation, play the role of chemical catalysts, so that the finished wine in the wine texture becomes rich and delicate, which is an important component of the brandy texture.
