Tequila distiller

When agave juice is fermented, the result is a beer-like fermented spirit with an alcohol content of 5% to 7%. Traditional distilleries use copper pot stills for two distillations, while modern distilleries use continuous stills. The first distillation takes one and a half to two hours and produces a spirit with an alcohol content of about 20%. The second distillation takes three to four hours and produces a spirit with an alcohol content of about 55%.
