Handcrafted from premium-grade copper, this classic Portuguese alembic still equipped with two refractive lenses (reflux/dephlegmator lenses) is the ultimate choice for crafting artisan spirits of exceptional purity at home or in a micro-distillery. Combining centuries-old Portuguese craftsmanship with modern distillation engineering, it delivers professional-grade purity and higher proof in a single run.

The defining feature of this copper moonshine still is its dual sequential refractive lenses. Acting as passive dephlegmators, they fundamentally elevate the distillation process:

• Maximum Purity & Filtration: Heavy compounds and fusel oils condense on the inner walls of the lenses and reflux back into the boiling pot, ensuring only the cleanest vapors reach your final cut.

• Higher Proof (Enhanced Reflux): The two lenses create a multi-stage distillation effect within a single cycle. You achieve a significantly higher ABV (alcohol by volume) without losing your yield.

• Time & Energy Efficiency: Eliminate the need for tedious double or triple distillation runs. Achieve pristine clarity and high strength in just one pass.

• Superior Flavor Retention: Unlike rigid reflux columns that strip away all character, a copper alembic with lenses preserves the delicate organoleptic profile of your mash (grapes, fruits, grains), resulting in a rich, smooth, and full-bodied spirit.

Copper: The Secret to Premium Spirits. Traditional Portuguese alembics are handcrafted from pure copper for a vital reason: copper naturally binds with sulfur compounds produced during fermentation. This chemical reaction eliminates off-odors and harsh notes, giving your brandy, whiskey, calvados, or grappa its signature smooth finish.

• Material: 99.9% pure certified copper.

• Craftsmanship: Hand-hammered and assembled using traditional Portuguese artisan techniques.

• Durable Joints: Expertly silver- or brass-welded to guarantee lifetime durability and leak-proof operation.

• Versatility: Perfect for crafting whiskey, gin, rum, schnapps, as well as steam-distilling high-purity essential oils and hydrosols.

This premium copper distiller is designed for connoisseurs and artisan distillers looking to produce:

1. Aromatic Distillates: Fruit and grain brandies (like Cognac or Slivovitz) where retaining the raw ingredient’s aroma profile is critical.

2. High-Proof Spirits: Absinthe, gin bases, and neutral botanical spirits.

3. Essential Oils: The gentle distillation process perfectly extracts delicate compounds from herbs, botanicals, and flower petals.
