Two distillation techniques, conventional distillation and double distillation were compared employing pot stills. Analysis of the results indicated a positive influence of the double distillation technique on the physical and chemical characteristics of the spirit. Lower levels of copper and total acidity were obtained as compared to those of conventional distillation.
