02 // METHODOLOGY

Production Process

01
Precision Zesting

Unlike traditional peeling, Batch 004 uses microplane zesting to maximize surface area and essential oil extraction. Every pass is deliberate — working strictly above the pith line to eliminate bitterness at the source.

Microplane Method
02
28-Day Cold Infusion

Zest is submerged in 190-proof Everclear and sealed in temperature-stable cellar conditions. This allows the grain alcohol to extract every volatile compound from the lemon zest without oxidation or heat degradation.

Cellar-Stable / Dark
03
Filtration & Integration

Post-infusion, the spirit undergoes multi-stage filtration for high-clarity output. Natural sweeteners are introduced, and the batch rests through a full stabilization phase to allow the alcohol and sugar elements to fully integrate.
