Brandy Distillation Process Overview
This controlled distillation workflow helps producers achieve more refined aroma, better cut precision, and stronger brandy quality consistency.
1. Fruit or Wine Fermentation
Fresh fruit mash or wine is fermented under controlled temperature conditions to preserve natural aromas. Alcohol content typically reaches 8–12% ABV.
2. Gentle Pot Distillation
The fermented liquid is distilled through a copper pot still, allowing slow heating and precise separation of heads, hearts, y tails.
3. Aroma Concentration
Copper surfaces react with sulfur compounds and support aroma refinement, helping create a smoother and more expressive spirit.
4. Collection and Preparation for Aging
En heart cut is collected and transferred for aging in wooden barrels or stainless steel storage tanks.
