This is then further purified through fine quartz and charcoal to add depths of smoothness before its final stage. the high-tech Latvijas Balzams facility in riga then filters the spirit through super-fine quartz sand to remove any further impurities and then through birch wood charcoal leaving a filtered, untainted spirit. The liquids density increases causing all the impurities to freeze against the walls of the filtration tanks.
