    Study Notes

    Distillation and Spirit Production

    • The process of pumping spirits over flavourings to extract their character is called percolation.
    • In 16th and 17th century Europe, the Dutch were the most experienced distillers.

    Distillation Process

    • Distillation is the process of concentrating alcohol.
    • The creation of alcohol is not the same as distillation.

    Raw Materials and Fermentation

    • Corn, potatoes, and wheat require conversion before fermentation, but plums do not.

    Maturation and Storage

    • Storage in wood can mellow, add colour, and add complexity to a spirit.
    • A hot and dry climate during maturation in wood will increase the overall percentage of evaporation.

    Flavouring Processes

    • Maceration and percolation will result in a coloured distillate, but distillation will result in a colourless distillate.

    Spirit Mellowing

    • Filtration and oxidation are processes that can mellow a spirit, but percolation and maceration do not have this effect.
