Commercial guys go all the way?

[rawdawg1952]

Do the big commercial distillers really go to the trouble of making cuts and fractions and if so how? They sure couldn't be doing it like a hobbyist distiller as it would be to time consuming. I know if distilling a neutral spirit, they just run that wash through a big-ass column --one and done, although some of the pricey vodkas claim several distillations. Beats me why anyone pays a premium price for an odorless, tasteless liquor, especially when they're mix it with Red Bull or mixers to mask the taste. Must be snobbishness one upmanship. Damn, I despise hipsters.
