About
Established in 1996, Essential Spirits Alambic Distilleries is a service-disabled veteran-owned and operated micro-distillery located in Mountain View, CA, in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. With roots as a Silicon Valley garage project, they use a unique state-of-the-art Alambic pot still handmade by a premier French maker—the only one of its kind in the US—to produce soft, medium-bodied spirits from high-quality ingredients like fruits, wines, pommaces, and brews. They specialize in rum, gin, vodka, brandy, and offer contract distilling services, transforming raw materials into award-winning, world-class spirits.
