Persedo Polishing Technology, With Tasting, And DRAM Breakthrough
Persedo. Ricky Ford, President.Traditional distillation and barrel aging deliver great spirits. And we respect tradition. But consumption habits are changing. Your customers demand smooth and more approachable tastes, with less burn; the kind of taste you can only get with premium and super-premium spirits. To deliver that premium quality of aged spirits quickly and cost-effectively, you must remove certain inferior alcohols and create desired esters (before or after barreling) without the loss of volume from ever-extended barrel time. To produce a premium vodka or gin from neutral spirits, additional distillation and filtration is the standard protocol today. Instead, you can realize 20% more volume, use less energy and reach premium quality much faster using the Persedo Polishing Technology.
