“Times distilled” vs. “column distilled”?Technically, “times distilled” refers to a pot-still operation. “Column distillation” obviously refers to a column. Each time alcohol is “distilled”, it goes through a heating and cooling process. Too many of these cycles may “bruise” the alcohol much like a beer may be “skunked” when heated and chilled. Column stills may be considered one continuous distillation. At Distilled Resources Inc. we use a column still and distill it just once… we got it right the first time - and that’s the honest truth.
