Systems and associated methods for carbothermically producing aluminum are provided, the systems generally including a reactor having a depth such that when the reactor contains molten liquid hydrostatic pressure of the molten liquid is at least about 0.5 atm as measured proximal the bottom of the reactor. A plurality of horizontally disposed electrodes, which may be offset from one another in a vertical and/or horizontal direction, may also be used in accordance with the system to provide selective heating gradients within the molten liquid.
