The CREATE+ Alembic Copper Dome, VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit, and Boiler 25 L bundle are the ultimate alembic distilling set up, designed to produce high quality distilled water, hydrosols, and flavoursome spirits such as whiskey, rum, bourbon, and gin.

The Alembic Copper Condenser features a 2" tri-clamp connection, and the dome comes with a 2" tri-clamp to DN40 Threaded Adapter for easy connection to 2" tri-clamp accessories, providing the ability to trial different distilling configurations.
