Distillery Information

Traditionally it is distilled in copper alembics using a double distillation process. The first distillation is much the same as one would perform for Portuguese aguardente (see The Portuguese Experience) to obtain a colourless eau de vie. This first distillation has an average alcoholic volume of 45 to 50%.
