Composing the distillate happens immediately after distillation, allowing the molecules to merge into a coherent structure.
The true power of A.I.R. lies in the connection between nature and technology. Although distillation has a centuries-old history, the methodology developed by A.I.R. is unprecedented.
Distilling
Tailor made
To fulfil its mission and create the purest, most finely layered drinks, we developed a tailor made distillation setup. An intensive development process resulted in a highly innovative still that makes it possible to capture the most volatile and delicate aromas.
The Journey
The process is intensive and deliberate. Each session starts from an interpretation of the desired flavour palette, followed by an analysis of the distillation parameters, including pressure, time and temperature. The complete distillation run, “from head to tail”, is then divided into multiple cuts, each captured separately. This makes it possible to blend only the most refined cuts and literally cut less refined passages or cuts out of the final distillate.
Volatile components are the most difficult to catch.
Per botanical we have different parameters in distilling technique and pressure.
