Lux-grade spirit is typically distilled from grain — most commonly wheat or rye — and must meet strict purity thresholds for methanol and fusel oil content. This classification sits above \"Extra\" grade and is intended to produce a cleaner, more refined base spirit before final dilution and filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restrained and clean on the nose with faint cereal grain and a mild mineral quality.
