Thinkers Distillery in Jerusalem has taken the art of spirits-making to a level few imagined possible by literally distilling the city’s air into its bottles.
The process begins with capturing and condensing Jerusalem’s atmosphere into pure drinking water, which is then filtered three times. Activated carbon removes heavier elements like sulfur and iodine, while a final platinum filter clears lighter compounds such as acetone. The result, the distillers claim, is an exceptionally clean foundation for spirits.
“Here we make the best alcohol in the world, specifically the best vodka in the world,” a spokesperson for the distillery said proudly to Thank You Hashem reporter.
She states that their vodka recently won a unanimous double gold medal. Tasting, they insist, is a first-class experience: aerate, sniff, sip. Forget about aconomy class.
