Cîroc is created using frozen grapes. Mauzac Blanc from the Gaillac region of France, and Ugni Blanc from the Cognac region to be exact. Cîroc is distilled five times distilling each grape separately before blending the two together and distilling for a fifth time. The first four distillations of the Ugni Blanc grape take place within a stainless steel column still, whilst the Mauzac Blanc grape is distilled within a copper continuous still. Once finished, they are then blended together (a recipe of 95% Ugni Blanc and 5% Mauzac Blanc) and distilled for a fifth time in a style copper pot still.
