spirit distillation

Spirit distillation is the process of separating alcohol from a fermented liquid, like beer or wine, to produce a higher concentration of alcohol. It involves heating the liquid in a still, where alcohol, which vaporizes at a lower temperature than water, turns into vapor. The vapor is then cooled and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in a purer, stronger alcoholic beverage, known as spirit or liquor. This process allows producers to concentrate flavors, remove impurities, and create spirits like whiskey, vodka, or rum with distinct characteristics.
