One-Stage Distillation or Intensifying Distillation Method is the top of “pálinka” brewing. The aroma and alcohol concentrator column built on the top of the kettle can produce a 75-85% middle distillate (useful distillate part) out of an average 5-7% alcohol content of mash/wine. “Pálinka” which is ready for consumption is free of any disturbing components that can cause flavour and aroma fault. It is not uncommon that distillation starts with an alcohol content of 90% or above. With this modern purifying technique, the distillate has a perfectly clear, light and fruity flavour which is free from any taste or aroma unpleasant elements. It will enchant you from the very first taste! The final product is free from strong pre-and post-distillate impurities. In order to use the pot more effectively, proper control, solid source of heat, monitoring and intervention points are built in. Furthermore more than 300 copper catalysts are filled in the upper side of the column to ensure the perfect quality of the distillate.
