Mashing & Fermentation

The Alchemy Begins

Key Elements:
  • Pure mountain water sourced from protected watersheds
  • Proprietary yeast strains developed over 25 years

Key Elements:
  • Hand-forged copper pot stills for superior heat distribution
  • Master distiller's cuts determine heads, hearts, and tails
  • Precise temperature control throughout the distillation process
  • Only the finest 60% of each distillation is retained

  • Master blender selects barrels at peak maturity
  • Small-batch blending for quality control
  • Non-chill filtration to preserve natural flavors
  • Hand-numbered bottles for authenticity
