  1. making pure whiskey … • What is a whiskey? • How is whiskey traditionally made? • How is Pure Whiskey made and what are the benefits?

  2. What is a whiskey? Law: • A beverage, made from a grain wash, that is distilled at no more than 80% and has been aged for a minimum of three years in a wooden barrel iStill: • A distilled beverage, made from a grain wash, in which the taste of the grain can be easily identified

  3. How is it made? First pot distillation (strip run) takes an 8% wash to 25 to 30% Second pot distillation (spirit run) takes the strip run to 70% and allows for cuts: • Fores: poisonous concentration of lower boiling point alcohols • Heads: combination of lower BP alcohols and grainy ethanol – fruity! • Hearts: ethanol with a grainy taste, some heads and tails • Tails: combination of tailsy alcohols and grainy ethanol – nutty taste! Due to the low level of separation heads and tails bleed into hearts That is good news for taste (fruit & grain & nuts), bad for hangovers! • How is Pure Whiskey made and what are the benefits?

  4. And pure whiskey? • Pure Whiskey is not made in a potstill, but in a fractionating still • Due to numerous re-distillations (15) a fractionating still has a very high level of separation • Headsy alcohols, causing headaches, are compressed and drawn off • Tailsy alcohols, causing stomach aches, are held back to the last part of the run • Leaving us with a hearts faction that is 96% strong, pure, and does not cause hangovers • Like this:

  5. Potstill vs. LM still: fruity grainy nutty whiskey

  6. Where is the taste? • But … • If we separate heads and tails perfectly … • Are we not just left with a grainy middle cut, without a fruity and nutty taste? A whiskey without character? A vodka rather than a whiskey? • Yes, but there is a solution!

  7. pure whiskey procedure Run 1: Use a fractionating still to do a first run. Like this: • Load the boiler, heat up the system, and stabilize your column • Throw away the Fores (they are poisonous) • Now collect Heads into the so called feints container • Switch containers and collect Hearts in your hearts container • After that, collect tails into your feints container You now have: • A grainy vodka (Hearts from run 1) • Feints (Heads and Tails from run 1)

  8. pure whiskey procedure Run 2: Use the fractionating still to do your second run. Like this: • Load the boiler, add feints from run 1, heat up, and stabilize • Throw away the Fores (they are poisonous) • Now collect Heads into the so called feints container • Switch containers and collect Hearts in your hearts container • After that, collect tails into your feints container You now have: • A fruity, grainy, nutty whiskey (Hearts from run 2) • Feints (Heads and Tails from run 1 and run 2)

  9. Boka or Nixon-Stone LM: Pure Whiskey

  10. pure whiskey procedure • In Run 2 you have twice as much Heads and twice as much Tails in the boiler • Because of the high level of separation of a fractionating still, you can stack Heads and Tails much better • Heads and Tails factions become so compact that associated fruity and nutty congeners bleed over into hearts! • Leaving you with a Pure Whiskey: all the taste without the hangover!

  11. iStill 50/250: Higher speed of collectionandshortertotal run time More compressedFores, Heads, andTails Dueto SPP packingandautomation (40 instead of 15 distillations) Allowingfor more headsandtailsassociatedcongenerstoblendintohearts Result: greatwhiskey taste at 96% without the hangover! vodka
