Distillation
In the tequila industry at least 2 distillations must be done for it to be called Tequila. After the first distillation the end product is known as ordinary, therefore the importance of having double distillation. The double distillation process is done in two ways: on distillation towers or stills.
The most common method for tequila distillation is by using alambic stills, thanks to them you can play with the sensorial profiles required for the final product. Instead, alcohol is concentrated in the towers and a more neutral product is obtained.
