Distillation and production

Production method

Production based on fermentation and distillation of grains and corn for the various categories; some labels are presented as small batch (e.g. Platte Valley) and the brand's vodka is declared multi-distilled. The company carries out distillation, selection and bottling for a heterogeneous range of spirits.

Distillation

Distillation from grains and corn; McCormick Vodka is indicated as multi-distilled (quadruple for the McCormick Vodka expression). Some products are made in small batch and bottled in characteristic containers (e.g. jugs/ceramic jars for Platte Valley).

Ageing

Some whiskies in the portfolio are aged in oak barrels; for certain labels (e.g. blended/old-style expressions) aging in reused barrels is declared and, in some cases, a period of around 36 months is indicated.
