Tells me all I need to know: “The purity of Grays Peak vodka is only achieved by using premium corn that is distilled five times using water that undergoes a proprietary reverse osmosis process that removes any trace minerals typically found in spring waters that can produce “hot” flavors.” Sounds like corn whiskey and filtered tap water.

Actually, dissolved gasses and organic proteins in the water can have a really deleterious effect on distilled beverages, so running the water through a RO system is a good thing. Even better is using distilled water, but thoroughly boiled water works well too.

I knew somebody who did some home distilling a while back and his comment on the subject of water prep was “Remember what fish do in that stuff and you’ll boil it for sure.”
