Distillation and production

Production method

The base is a mash prepared from bread-grade rye grown in the Napf region. The first distillation is carried out in a pot still to obtain the raw spirit; this is followed by a second purification phase in a copper reflux column with about 45 plates and a third distillation to further refine the character. Finally, the alcohol is reduced to bottling strength with Titlis glacier water.

Distillation

Triple distillation: first in a pot still, second in a copper reflux column (~45 plates), third finishing distillation.
