Distillate is a narrative podcast about the history, science, culture, and human stakes behind what people drink. Not technique. Not recipes. The story — the people, the chemistry, the politics, the accidents, and the moments in history where what was in the glass reflected something larger about the world.Rum built an empire on the back of slavery and molasses waste. Gin brought 18th-century London to its knees before it became a symbol of craft and refinement. Coffee didn't just wake people up — it reorganized how they thought, and built the institutions of the Enlightenment in the process. The history of drinks is the history of transformation: of raw materials, of cultures, of human ambition and catastrophe.Distillate is hosted by Shawn Spitaleri and produced by The Alchemist's Bar — craft mixology through the lens of alchemy as proto-chemistry. The alchemy framework is the editorial lens here: transformation through material process, observed with precision. Every episode follows a single drink, ingredient, or moment to where it breaks open into something larger.Every drink has a story. Most of them are stranger than you think.New episodes every Tuesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. more
