Chill filtering is a method in whisky making for removing residue. In chill filtering, whisky is cooled to between -10° and 4° Celsius (often roughly 0°) and passed through a fine adsorption filter. This is done mostly for cosmetic reasons – to remove cloudiness, rather than to improve taste or consistency.
Famous quotes containing the word chill:
“The woman was old and ragged and gray
And bent with the chill of the Winter’s day.”
