Thank you for the beautiful Charentais still. It is not only nicer than the premium soldered alembic that I bought last year - it is about ten times nicer! I had been hesitant to order it for a long time, because I thought that it was overpriced compared to the prices you ask for other alembics. Now I know the reason. It is a masterpiece of design and workmanship and I will treasure it for the rest of my life. I'm a person who want to relax from the stressful life when I'm away from work, turn off the computer and iPhone, and do something relaxing. To me, that means going back to doing things like in old low-tech days. I drive a very low-tech 1960's Jaguar Mk2, grow vegetables in the garden, chop wood, keep bees and produce honey, fish (off course with a split-cane bamboo rod!), bake sourdough bread, and practise slow food cooking and eating. I'm not interested in producing tasteless alcohol of the vodka type, but will try to learn how to produce something that hopefully will turn out to be tasteful after a few years in oak casks. After all, my preferences are red wine, cognac, armagnac and calvados. I have never really appreciated beer and whisky.
