Tight-lipped – Don ’ t ask John Morfield to name its secretive clients within the Scotch whisky industry .
this time utilising state-of-the-art technologies to achieve optimal air quality rather than an amphibious Lotus Esprit . Developed by one of John Morfield ’ s many global filtration partners ( sorry Q branch ), these high-efficiency particulate air ( HEPA ) filters can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns , effectively removing dust , pollen , bacteria and even the occasional sneeze from a vigilant tower guard .
As with any masterpiece , regular maintenance is the secret sauce to continued success . Filters are replaced according to a wellrehearsed schedule , inspections are carried out with meticulous attention and state-of-the-art monitoring technologies track air quality and system performance . It ’ s a performance orchestrated by John Morfield ’ s expert technicians , who have their own unique gadgets and tools .
The Tower of London and its precious inhabitants stand as a testament to centuries of British history and culture . To protect these priceless artefacts for future generations , implementing advanced incoming air filtration systems is paramount . By employing cuttingedge technology , maintaining strict environmental controls and conducting regular maintenance , they can ensure the Crown Jewels continue to shine brightly for centuries to come .
But it ’ s not just diamonds , emeralds and rubies that John Morfield protects . Whisky distilleries , it turns out , are even more enigmatic and guarded about their “ liquid gold ” than the guardians of the Crown Jewels themselves . These distilleries reveal little about their methods , the exact combination of grains , the unique strains of yeast and the precise ageing techniques that yield their coveted spirits .
That commitment to maintaining the purity and uniqueness of their products means we can ’ t mention any of John Morfield ’ s customers ’ names .
But what we can tell you is that among the peaks and troughs of mountains and lochs , John Morfield continues its remarkable journey of filtration expertise , preserving a national treasure of equal importance . While the ingredients , distillation process and ageing play significant roles in crafting whisky , an often overlooked yet crucial aspect is filtration .
John Morfield ’ s filtration specialists understand the importance they play in ensuring whisky is treated like the last drop of water in the Sahara Desert . Filtration in spirits production is not so different to that of air filtration . The core principle remains the same – separating the good stuff from the not-so-good stuff – much as some would see picking out the Bounty bars from a tub of
Celebrations . It ’ s a delicate dance , making sure the whisky ’ s unique character shines through while removing any unwanted flavours and achieving the desired clarity , consistency and character that defines a high-quality spirit .
While filtration is undeniably crucial in crafting a top-quality whisky , balance is the key – too fine filtration can dull the unique character , much like overcooking a gourmet dish , diminishing the flavours and mouthfeel . But John Morfield ’ s six decades of perfecting the alchemy of filtration ensures every dram retains its character , depth and complexity .
It ’ s clear to see by the institutions that entrust John Morfield to protect their legacies that they have the knowledge , experience and dedication to look after all applications . With its roots firmly anchored in Teesside , John Morfield remains a loyal companion to both old and burgeoning industries .
As for its next covert mission , if they were to reveal it , well , you know the rest . It ’ s a secret that remains locked in their vault , shrouded in the enigma that makes John Morfield the guardian of our nation ’ s treasures .
