Alembics can produce:
Sugar (true... From Beets?)
Salt (I highly doubt this is it... Unless Sea Salt is a spice and Salt Crystals remain what they are)
Spirits (Gin, Bourbon, Whiskey, Rye, etc)
Essential Oils (From flowers (and Cave Bulbs?), herbs, tree sap/bark (turpentine), etc for medicines and other industrial materials, etc)
Aqua Regia (A highly pure form of alcohol used mostly in medicine)
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
LOTS of things can be distilled down to a purer form.
