Traditional and handmade our pot stills really are a work of art and are made in much the same way as they were when we started in 1890. As our stills remain handcrafted and hand shaped we can offer pots to any contour or size that our clients desire.
A large part of our work comes from the domestic market supplying replacement parts for the Scotch and Irish Whisky Industry as well as new stills for distillery expansions. However in the last 20 years Forsyths have been exporting more and more equipment all over the globe. Today we provide equipment to both the boutique craft distillers as well as the established drinks conglomerates. You will find some of the world’s finest whiskies, gins, tequilas, rums and bourbons are made in our pots.
We manufacture pots from 50L to 25,000L charge capacity using direct flame firing, steam coil, steam jacket, electric element or electric hotplate as the heat source. We offer still heads in any shape with the main three styles being ogee, lamp glass and boil ball all of which are finished with a sweeping swan neck.
