Make essential oils, gin and other plant based spirits using botanicals with the Botanical Basket.
The Botanical Basket can be used to infuse your spirit with botanical flavours from the Gin Botanicals range or your own ingredients.
Use one of the Gin Botanicals packets, or your own botanical recipe, and add the ingredients in the basket for your own unique brand of spirits!
Simply make your spirit wash as normal, perform the Stripping Run, then during the Spirit Run put your botanical ingredients into the Botanical Basket, screw the basket on to the Pot Still Alembic Dome Top and Pot Still Alembic Condenser, or Turbo 500 Condenser (by removing the saddles) and run your spirit through.
The Botanical Basket can be used with both the Still Spirits T500 and the Alembic distillation systems. Instructions included.

Still Spirits support the safe and responsible use of alcohol.
Still Spirits is a responsible provider of spirit making products, and is committed to public safety and the responsible use of alcohol. Still Spirits also supports the observance of laws in regards to the home distillation of alcohol and the minimum drinking age in your country.
For best results, and for the sake of your health, Still Spirits recommends that you do not drink spirit at more than 40% alcohol by volume.
Note: If you consume alcohol over 60% by volume, alcohol poisoning will occur, leading to death or serious permanent injury.
You must have a licence to distil alcohol in many countries, including Australia. In Australia you may own a 5L still if you are only using it for distilling water or essential oils. You may not own a still with a capacity of greater than 5L without having a licence. Please check your local laws before purchasing.
In most countries it is illegal for an individual to use a still for the purpose of making your own pure alcohol. Yet it's not against the law to own a water distillation unit or a simple air-still, (under 5L in Australia) and many people already use these devices to distill water or to make essential oils.
We advise that the use of any product listed on this website for the distillation of spirit in Australia is unlawful. The distillation units listed on this website can be used in Australia only for the purpose of distilling water and essential oils or other similar purposes.
