Outshining The Competition
By Alchemist G. G. Wilkins

Throughout my life, the people of Pittsfield knew me as a man who was never afraid to try something different.

I stamped my name onto coins.

I kept a live bear outside Fort Wilkins to attract customers.

I operated businesses that kept the newspapers busy and my critics talking.

Love me or hate me, people remembered me.

The same philosophy applies to a quality copper still.

Ordinary has never interested me.

A still should be built to last. It should perform better than the competition. Most importantly, it should produce exceptional results every time it is put to work.

That is why every copper still produced under the name Alchemist G. G. Wilkins is built with quality, durability, and performance in mind.

Our stills are constructed from high-quality copper and assembled using lead-free silver solder. They are designed to provide a lifetime of service while producing superior results for generations of distillers, craftsmen, and entrepreneurs.

Copper has been the preferred material for distillation for centuries. It conducts heat efficiently and helps remove unwanted sulfur compounds that can negatively affect taste and aroma. The result is a cleaner, finer, and more refined final product.

There is a reason copper remains the gold standard.

Because it works.

Innovation, however, is equally important.

Throughout my life I constantly searched for better ways to conduct business, attract customers, and improve upon existing ideas. That same spirit of innovation inspired Flame-Flow™, a patented advancement designed to reduce heat-up times, improve efficiency, and provide greater control throughout the distillation process.

The benefits are simple:

Faster heat-up times
Reduced fuel consumption
Greater temperature control
Less chance of scorching
More efficient operation

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

A good still is not an expense.

It is an investment.

An investment in craftsmanship.

An investment in self-reliance.

An investment in quality.

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

I hope you remember me for something else.

Building some of the finest copper stills a person can own.
