A pot distillation system, in particular for whiskey, includes a distillation bubble with a base equipped to heat an alcoholic liquid, and a top removing alcohol vapors. The alcoholic liquid in the base is heated by a heating unit having a heat exchanger which is in thermal contact with the alcoholic liquid and heated by water vapor. A condenser having a cooling water circuit recirculating cooling water across the condenser condenses the alcohol vapor supplied from the top. The cooling water circuit includes a separator which removes water vapor from the cooling water circuit. The water vapor removed by the separator is pre-compressed in a mechanical compressor and supplied to an intake port of a steam jet pump which is driven by water vapor from a water vapor source and which further compresses the pre-compressed water vapor, and the steam jet pump supplying the further compressed water vapor to the heat exchanger for heating same.
