Insiders’ secret

History

Travel history

While traveling around the globe, our Mandracore group founder Nicolas Sinoquet encountered a unique experience by tasting a yack milk base alcohol, distilled only for great occasions in Mongolia.
On is way back to France he had only one thought: recreate the flavours of this traditional spirits in which he saw an outstanding gustatory and mixology potential.
After a long search, he eventually decided to use French milk from Auvergne, renowned for its great quality.
After numerous tasting tests in our GIMET laboratory was born from personal inspiration of the Mongol spirits the Lactalium Velvet recipe.

Process

Lactalium Velvet is the result of long-lasting research to get familiar with the Mongolian recipe.
It is therefore with the qualitative French milk out of Auvergne that the production begins.
We precisely use the whey part of the milk as water, whey and sugar (Lactose).
After a pump-over in temperatures, it is slightly inoculated with sugar and yeast to get a milk beer at 4%.
Distillation takes place in Cognac pot stills, with a particular care to bring the toasting intensity, which must be delicate to avoid burning the beer.
The master distiller regularly tastes to adjust gas pressure accordingly.
The result is an eau-de-vie at 70% that is slowly reduced two months prior to bottling.
