the name of an apparatus used in chemistry for various purposes, and in the distillation of ardent spirits.

STILL-Bottoms, in the distillery, a name given by the traders to what remains in the still after working the wash into low wines. These bottoms are procured in the greatest quantity from the malt-wash, and are of so much value to the distiller in the fattening of hogs, &c., that he often finds them one of the most valuable articles of the business.
