triple distilled

Three-pass refined

Triple distilled describes liquor—especially whiskey, vodka, or gin—that has been distilled three times to increase purity and smoothness.

Each distillation removes more impurities and concentrates the alcohol.

The term appears prominently in marketing, where it signals premium quality: triple distilled Irish whiskey.

Figuratively, triple distilled can mean highly refined or purified: triple distilled nonsense.
