Along with soft Titlis glacier water, rich in oxygen and minerals, and slightly alkaline, which makes XELLENT virtually pH-neutral, the most important raw material is the highest quality Swiss rye of the varieties “Picasso” and “Matador”. This vodka is distilled 3 times in pot stills to over 96% purity. After a resting phase of several months, XELLENT is reduced carefully to the drinking strength of 40% ABV, in stages with short breaks in between.
