Portuguese Classic Copper Alambic Still PLUS (with Reflux Lens & Anti-Scorch Sieve)

Looking for the ultimate equipment to craft top-shelf spirits at home? The Portuguese Classic Alambic "PLUS" is a premium, handcrafted copper moonshine still, upgraded for maximum convenience and flawless distillate quality. Unlike standard models, the "PLUS" edition comes fully loaded with professional-grade upgrades: a reflux lens for proof-boosting and vapor purification, and an internal bottom sieve to completely eliminate the risk of burning thick mashes.

This copper distiller is the gold standard for crafting authentic whiskey, cognac, brandy, calvados, grappa, and aromatic fruit schnapps.

Key Features of the "PLUS" Configuration

While a standard classic alembic is great for basic distillation, the "PLUS" modification elevates your home distilling to a commercial-distillery level:

1. Reflux Lens (Lenticular Deflegmator)

A specialized copper disc installed between the onion helmet and the swan neck lyne arm. It functions as a mini-rectification column:

• Boosts Proof & Purity: Through intermediate cooling (reflux), heavy compounds and fusel oils condense and flow back down into the pot, allowing only the purest, highest-proof alcohol vapor to reach the condenser.

• Saves Time: Achieve professional-grade purity and higher ABV in a single distillation run, while fully preserving the rich, natural aroma of your base ingredients.

2. Copper Bottom Sieve (Anti-Scorch False Bottom)

An absolute game-changer for those working with grain-based (malt, flour) or fruit-based (pomace, mashed berries) washes:

• Scorch Protection: The sieve suspends the thick solids of your mash just above the bottom of the pot, preventing them from making direct contact with the heat source.

• Flawless Flavor Profile: No burnt aftertaste or off-odors. The wash heats uniformly, releasing only the most desirable, elegant aromas.

Technical Specifications & Benefits

• 100% Handcrafted: Each unit is built by master Portuguese artisans using time-tested traditional techniques. All seams are securely welded or brazed with silver solder.

• Unrivaled Organoleptic Properties: The traditional "onion" shape of the helmet provides excellent natural deflegmator action, beautifully unlocking the delicate flavor profiles of fruits and grains.

Who is the Portuguese Classic Alembic Still For?

This equipment is designed for true connoisseurs who have outgrown standard stainless steel reflux columns and want to craft smooth, deeply aromatic distillates perfect for long-term oak barrel aging.
