Current Goal

My mission is to visit distilleries worldwide! Where it's American Whisky, or a Jamacian Rum, I'd love to visit the birthplace of any distilled spirits.. This coin is one of 5 by GeoAdam that are in a race to see which one can visit the most Distilleries! 

About This Item

Coin on the Still

I am an Alembic Still geocoin, ready to accompany you on your travels. Take me to Kentucky, to visit Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, anywhere your heart desires, Carry me to Tennessee to visit Maker's Mark, Jim Beam, and Jack Daniel's.. even George Dickel!

After those, perhaps the Les Fil d'Emile Pernot Distillery in France? Maybe The Combier? Or you'll take me to Scotland! Start out with a light trip to Bladnoch, then proceed to the Highland Malt region..  Perhaps a Jamacian vacation? Or a Mexican oasis? 

My travels are up to you!


from Wikipedia:
 
  An alembic (from Arabic al-anbīq الأنبيق, from Greek ἄμβυξ ambyx possibly from Semitic)[1] is an alchemical still consisting of two vessels connected by a tube. Technically, the alembic is the lid with a tube attachment (the capital or still-head), which is placed on top of a flask, the cucurbit, containing the material to be distilled, but the word is often used to refer to the entire distillation apparatus. If the lid and flask are in one piece, it may be called a retort. The liquid in the first flask is boiled; the vapour rises and flows into the tube, where it cools and condenses, running into the second flask. A modern descendant of the alembic (used to produce alcohol) is the pot still. The earliest appearances of alembics are to be found in the works of ancient Greek alchemists[2] who conducted the first documented scientific studies on distillation.[3] This work was extended during the Middle Ages by Muslim alchemists like Jābir ibn Hayyān.
