new make spirit

New make spirit, also known as raw or white spirit, is the clear liquid produced immediately after distilling fermented grains, fruits, or other ingredients to make whisky, vodka, or gin. It is unaged, unsweetened, and possesses a strong alcohol content typically around 63-70%. This spirit captures the pure flavors of the raw ingredients before aging or flavoring. It serves as the foundational product for many spirits, and its quality and characteristics influence the final taste of the finished beverage. New make spirit is often used by distillers for testing, blending, or further aging processes.
