Distillation of Plants and Flowers

This beautifully crafted copper still represents a time-honored design, particularly cherished in the northern regions of the Iberian Peninsula. The Alquitara stands out for its unique construction, where the upper condensing chamber ingeniously doubles as the cooling vessel. Simply fill the cap with cold water to facilitate condensation, making this a remarkably self-contained and space-saving distillation solution. Key Features & Benefits: * Traditional Design: Experience a slower yet efficient distillation process that coaxes out rich and nuanced flavors, often preferred for retaining a wider spectrum of aromatic compounds. * Integrated Condenser: The innovative dual-function cap eliminates the need for separate cooling equipment, saving space and simplifying your setup. * 5-Liter Capacity: Ideal for small-batch distillations, allowing you to experiment with various botanicals and recipes. * Included Thermometer: Monitor the vapor temperature with precision, giving you greater control over the distillation process and the quality of your final product. * Compact Footprint: Its clever design makes the Alquitara a perfect choice for those with limited space. * Durable Copper Construction: Handcrafted from high-quality copper, ensuring excellent heat distribution and longevity. The Alquitara Difference: While it may yield a slightly lower alcohol percentage per run compared to alembic stills due to less reflux, the Alquitara excels in producing distillates with distinct and complex flavor profiles. Its gentle distillation process is favored by those seeking to capture the full essence of their ingredients. Perfect For: * Home distillers who appreciate traditional methods. * Those with limited space looking for an efficient and self-contained unit. * Distillers who prioritize flavor complexity over high alcohol content in a single pass. * Experimenting with aromatic distillations and essential oils.
