Transforming distillation: a new educational dawn
The exciting world of distillation has just received a significant push thanks to the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD).

The general certificate in distillation, designed for those emerging stars that are already working in the field, offers between 60 and 80 hours of self -directed content. It is not a walk in the park, but an intensive one that provides the necessary bases for distillmen to go from being apprentices for distillation teachers. And best of all: all the material is in Spanish! So, goodbye to confusing translations and hello to clarity.
What is in the course menu?
From understanding raw materials to navigating the ins and outs of production in a distillery, this course covers all essential aspects. Students can end with a solid base in science and distillation technology, in addition to knowing the best practices in the sector. And for those who love the risk: there is a multiple selection exam at the end to realize what they have learned.
An exam that is like a super bowl of distillation
This exam, which is held in March and October every year, has become an emblematic event in the calendar of many distillians.
