They say it removes impurities in the alcohol but also the flavor. Thats why most vodka is a neutral spirit and the ones that aren't had flavor added after the fact. Also after 2 times of being distilled the liquor is coming out about as strong as it can possibly be.(the standard of moonshiners i.e.. ran through a thumper or ''doubler'' on the first and only run) It is then cut usually with something moonshiners use pure spring water to cut it back down to a decent proof 80-120. Most WHISKEY is doubled some is filtered through charcoal then aged in a barrel for about 5 years. In the end the more you distill the more flavor is lost and the higher the alcohol content is from still to jar. But it doesn't matter because it will be cut to a lower proof by the time it makes it to your hands either way!

Is lowland whiskey only a matter of geography or is it depending on double versus triple distillation?

Lowland whiskys are not listed as such because of the number of times the spirit is distilled. Lowland whiskys are accurately labled as such when they are from the geographic area referred to as the Lowlands. While it is true that the Lowland single malts have traditionally been triple-distilled there have been a few other whiskys that have been triple-distilled. Hazelburn 8 produced in the Springbank distillery is also triple-distilled Scotch but is certainly not a Lowland malt. Irish whiskeys are also tradtionally triple-distilled.


Why is triple distilled vodka better than just distilled?

As it was explained to me at the Jameson Distillery in Ireland, triple distillation involves three distillation steps. Distillation involves heating a liquid that has alcohol in it to the point that the alcohol (which boils at a lower temperature than water) evaporates and is captured before it condenses back into the liquid from which it came. Second and third distillations heat the captured alcohol under narrower and narrower heat ranges to make sure that only the alcohol remains. Many impurities are removed by this process and the result is a much smoother liquor. All Irish whiskey is triple distilled. Scotch whiskey is double distilled and most Bourbon (sour mash) is only distilled once (however there are notable exceptions). In a taste test many years ago several bartenders were given several different vodkas (without knowing which one was which). Which one won? Pure grain alcohol (200 proof) was the winner. But you can't buy it because 1) it can cause alcohol poisoning very quickly, and 2) it is extremely flammable. Triple distilled vodka should exhibit the same smooth character as triple distilled Irish whiskey.

Is liquor and beer the same?

No, liquor's are distilled drinks. Which means they have more alcohol in them then beer.Liquor's are drinks that contain ethanol, which is acquired by distilling fermented fruits, vegetables or grains. These drinks can go far beyond the natural border of formation of alcohol by fermentation (which is about 15%). Many sorts of liquor contain double or triple that percentage of alcohol.Examples of liquors are: Vodka, Whiskey, Brandy, Schnapps, Rum and Liqueur.
