The fire roasted, smoked, and baked pineapples ferment whole in a bath of evaporated pineapple juice and mineral water. The evaporated pineapple juice is a golden nectar; it is the consistency of honey and the color of copper rose gold. It tastes sweet, a bit tart, and oh, so pineapple. The pineapple nectar, purified water with a signature blend of minerals, and a handful of Champagne yeast are added to a tank. Meanwhile, the pineapples are smoked and roasted whole in an earthen oven pit, just like mezcal production. Approximately 800 pounds are roasted at a time with an average time 1-4 days, depending on intuition and weather. After roasting, the pineapples are added to the pineapple nectar and mineral water mix for fermentation, which lasts anywhere between 1-8 weeks. The pineapples are then crushed and distilled once on the skins via a pot column copper still.
