Abstract
A process for producing vodka by distilling one aqueous solution of alcohol having a relatively low alcohol content from a potstill. The volume of the solution in the still is maintained by a flow of another aqueous solution of alcohol of relatively high alcohol content. The vapor is condensed to produce Vodka. In the process the one solution has an alcohol content of about 4.5% by volume and a mineral content. The other solution has an alcohol content of about 41% by volume. The distillate is condensed and admixed with undistilled solution from the still to provide a vodka with an alcohol content of about 40% and the minerals content from the first solution. An apparatus able to carry out the process is described.
