Hydraulic Alembic 100 L – Complete Set with Gin Box

The hydraulic alembic is a modern take on the traditional copper pot still. Its helmet is water-cooled: cold water runs through a jacket around the head, so part of the vapour condenses before it reaches the coil and falls back into the boiler. That built-in reflux works like a small rectifier, giving a cleaner, more aromatic spirit and, according to the manufacturer, up to 20% better distillation performance than a classic alembic of the same size.

This complete set adds a Gin Box: a copper chamber with a botanical basket placed in the vapour path. Juniper, citrus peel and other botanicals are extracted by the rising vapour, the method behind most premium gins, or they can be steeped as an infusion.
