Post by: Cornelius on October 13, 2022, 01:58:42 AM

Hello,

I bought this beautiful mint Distillate some months ago. I'm curious about what you can find in the archive about this one. Serial number is: 82 D2161 USA.

Regards

Cornelius,
It can take awhile before the build information gets posted here.  Nice choice.  I find that a Distillate holds a vast tonal palette (pretty sure all Alembics do).  Have fun with it, experiment with subtle adjustments and post more pictures please.
