What is a distiller?

Answer 1

One that distills, as a condenser. One who makes alcoholic liquors by the process of distillation

The original grain spirit, whiskey, appears to have first been distilled in Ireland. While its specific origins are unknown, there is evidence that by the sixteenth century it was widely consumed in some parts of Scotland. It was also during the seventeenth century that Franciscus Sylvius (or Franz de la Boe), a professor of medicine at the University of Leyden, distilled spirits from grain.

George Washington was apparently the largest distiller of whiskey in the new American nation during the late 1700s. In 1798, the year before his death, Washington's distillery at Mount Vernon produced 11,000 gallons of whiskey and produced a profit of $7,500. That was an enormous sum of money over 200 years ago.

Washington began producing whiskey at the suggestion of his plantation manager, who was Scottish. The new distiller first began by purchasing a copper still, but his first batch was so successful that he bought three more stills and built a larger distillery.

A distiller is a machine or apparatus used to extract essential oils, flavorings, or alcohol by heating and cooling a liquid mixture to separate its components based on their different boiling points. In the context of alcohol production, a distiller is used to separate alcohol from a fermented liquid to create spirits like vodka, whiskey, or rum.
