Chase voka

The process began with fermenting the potatoes down to a spirit which is then distilled a total of 5 times usingbatch pot stills. Although this process does not get all the alcohol out the potatoes it does give the vodka morecharacter.Next is removing the impurities from the vodka, this involves heating the vodka in using Chases 42 bubbleplate’s technique. This technique allows the water vapour from the vodka to pass through each individual plateuntil it reaches the top of the cylinder where it condenses. The reason behind doing this process is to leave allthe impurities of the vodka behind and only have the pure water vapour rise. This process is repeated 3 timeswith each time the spirit getting purer.After the distillation process finishes then you are left with 3 different batches of spirit, the head the heart andthe tail. The heart is the good spirit and this batch is taken through the entire 42 bubble plate process againending up with a spirit at 96% ABV. The spirit is then diluted with pure water that is taken from the aquiferunderneath the orchard to around 50% AB\L Then it is time for chill filtering which is done to remove any otherimpurities in the vodka and then more pure water from is added to turn the ABV to 40% and it is now pure cleanvodka, worthy of William Chase putting his name on the bottle and calling it Chase Vodka.This whole process has allowed Chase Vodka to be named ‘the best vodka in the world’ at the SanFrancisco World Spirit Championship 2010.
