Description
Summary:Agricultural distillates (raw spirits) are alcoholic liquids obtained through distillation (preceded by alcoholic fermentation) of specific agricultural products that do not have the properties of ethyl alcohol or a spirit, but still retain the aroma and taste of the raw ingredients used. This review is a brief overview of agricultural distillates and of some methods commonly used (GC‐MS, GC‐FID, GC‐O, electronic nose) for performing quality assessments and for determining the composition and botanical origins of the raw spirits.
