A Step Above The Rest
By Alchemist G. G. Wilkins

The people of Pittsfield never accused me of being ordinary.

They accused me of plenty of other things.

Some thought I was a genius.

Others thought I was out of my mind.

The newspapers followed me around like hungry dogs looking for scraps.

I was accused of selling liquor.

I stood before judges.

I was dragged into courtrooms.

I stamped my name onto coins and sent them across America.

I kept a live bear outside Fort Wilkins because a bear attracts more customers than a sign ever will.

Some folks loved me.

Many did not.

Yet here we are more than a century later, still talking about my name.

That is because ordinary men are forgotten.

Now let us talk about copper stills.

A copper still is one of the finest investments a person can make. It is not merely a piece of equipment. It is a tool capable of producing opportunity.

Clean drinking water.

Essential oils.

Perfumes.

Botanical extracts.

Flavorings.

Soap ingredients.

Distilled products.

And countless other creations limited only by the imagination of the owner.

A quality still earns its keep.

That is why every still built under the name Alchemist G. G. Wilkins is constructed with the same stubborn determination that built Fort Wilkins itself.

Our copper stills are handcrafted from high-quality copper and assembled using lead-free silver solder. They are built to last a lifetime and designed to produce exceptional results.

Copper remains the preferred material for distillation because it conducts heat efficiently and helps remove undesirable sulfur compounds. Distillers have trusted copper for centuries because copper works.

Some traditions survive because they deserve to.

But I was never content with tradition alone.

Throughout my life I searched for better ways to do things. Better ways to advertise. Better ways to conduct business. Better ways to build.

That same spirit of innovation inspired Flame-Flow™, a patented advancement designed to heat faster, improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and provide greater control throughout the distillation process.

The benefits are simple.

Faster heat-up times.

Less fuel consumption.

Greater temperature control.

Reduced chance of scorching.

Better overall performance.

Whether you are interested in distilled water, perfumes, essential oils, botanical extracts, flavorings, or traditional distillation where legally permitted, a quality copper still remains one of the most versatile tools a person can own.

Every still is water tested.

Every still is inspected.

Every still is built to perform.

Every still is backed by a lifetime warranty.

The newspapers remembered me for the bear, the court cases, the coins, the controversies, and the adventures.

I hope you remember me for something else.

Building copper stills that stand a step above the rest.
