redistill
Purify once more
To redistill is to distill again—passing a liquid through the distillation process a second or subsequent time to achieve greater purity or concentration.
The term appears most often in discussions of spirits, essential oils, or chemical compounds: The whiskey is redistilled to remove impurities.
Each pass typically yields a more refined product.
