"Unveiling the Art of Distilling: From Private Stills to Perfumes" Step into the world of distillation, where ancient traditions and scientific breakthroughs intertwine. Inishowen, an Irish haven, witnessed the clandestine process poteen in a private still, hidden away from prying eyes. A 16th-century woodcut takes us back in time, revealing the early days of this captivating craft. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, a brilliant French chemist, left an indelible mark on distillation's history by establishing the composition of water. His groundbreaking discoveries paved the way for future advancements in this age-old technique. From Ireland to France and beyond, we explore various facets of distillation. Calvados Distilling transports us to Normandy's picturesque orchards where apples are transformed into liquid gold. J & W Nicholson & Co Distillers' transport system in 1899 showcases how this industry thrived during Regency England. Glass-blowing and colliery were prominent trades during that era but none could match the allure and complexity of distillation. Lavoisier's genius resurfaces as we delve deeper into his contributions to chemistry. Across oceans lies Guam; here Chamorro natives perfected their own unique form of distillation known only to them. Meanwhile, Wallachians distilled Slivovitz with precision and pride in Danubian Principalities during a visit captured vividly by Nelson Boyd in 1875. The artistry extends further as we witness German perfumers meticulously crafting fragrances through intricate processes captured beautifully in a black-and-white photograph from the 1930s. An alambic engraving serves as a visual testament to centuries-old techniques passed down through generations while William Hogarth's Gin Lane chromolithograph depicts London's gin-soaked streets—a cautionary tale against excesses born out of misguided consumption.
