During the second distillation, we pump the low wine into the "high wine" still. As we heat this liquid the alcohol vaporizes a second time, goes through the condensation process again, and emerges as "high wine" at about 100 to 110 proof (50 - 55% alcohol.) With each distillation, more impurities and water are removed from the liquid.

Finally, we pump the "high wine" into the "spirit still," where it's distilled a third and final time, resulting in a 158 proof product. At this point, we are through distilling and our clear "new spirit" is ready to go into our barrels.
