10L Alembic Spirit Still

10L Traditional Copper Alembic Still Kit

Small Batch Spirit Distillation with More Capacity

The 10L Traditional Copper Alembic Still is a popular choice for distillers looking for a little more flexibility and production capacity without moving into larger commercial equipment. It offers the perfect balance between batch size and ease of use, making it ideal for creating spirits, testing recipes and working with larger quantities of botanicals.

Whether you’re producing botanical spirits, gin, fruit brandies or experimenting with traditional distillation methods, the 10L alembic provides enough volume to make the process more efficient while retaining the hands-on nature of small-batch distillation.

The classic alembic design has been used for centuries and remains popular today because of its simplicity, beauty and ability to produce spirits with character and depth.

Heating

For best results, we recommend using a suitable electric hotplate matched to the base diameter of the still. The included copper sieve tray helps keep botanicals off the base of the boiler, reducing the risk of scorching during distillation.

Handcrafted in Portugal

Each still is handcrafted by skilled copper artisans outside Porto, Portugal. Produced using traditional techniques passed down through generations, these alembics combine functionality with craftsmanship and are equally at home in a teaching space, workshop or home distillery.

Why Copper?

Copper has been the distiller’s material of choice for generations. It reacts with sulphur compounds during distillation, helping to produce a cleaner spirit while allowing the character of your chosen ingredients to shine through.

At Alembic Alchemy, we’re passionate about preserving traditional distillation knowledge and helping people reconnect with the craft. Whether you’re expanding your distillation setup or investing in your first serious still, the 10L Traditional Copper Alembic Still Kit offers a practical and authentic way to learn, experiment and create.
