The Alembics Lab is the online learning space created by Jill Mulvaney, founder of Alembics New Zealand—an industry-leading distillation and extraction business.
Our goal is to show people just how accessible it is to distil yourself, starting with what you have around you.
The Alembics Lab brings the three pillars of aromatic distillation together under one roof—hydrosols, essential oils, and alcohol. These techniques are the gateways to working with natural flavour and aroma.
Meet your instructor, Jill Mulvaney:
Jill Mulvaney is a distiller, extractor and blender of aromatics, with over 25 years of experience. She teaches and consults on all aspects of plant extraction, aroma, and natural flavour. Jill also develops ideas and products for a wide range of industries, and is behind a number of award-winning gins.
Jill is passionate about the character of plants, the alchemical wonder of distillation, and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. Her formative years, growing up on an isolated farm in Hawkes Bay, her recent teaching partnerships with internationally renowned phytochemists and aromatic distillers in Europe and America, and her experience distilling New Zealand and Australian natives, forms the basis of her deep engagement with the natural world—which remains her greatest inspiration.
