Manipulating Fusel Oil Levels in New Make Distillate

Travis Hammond, Operations Manager Smooth Ambler Spirits
The ultimate goal of any distiller is to consistently produce a quality spirit. There are no less than one-hundred variables that can directly aect the avor of the distillate. All avors are due to the presence of small levels of organic molecules that are carried over during distillation. This presentation presents the results of a 3-month study carried at Smooth Ambler Spirits to quantify our attempt at identifying the molecules and optimizing a process for consistency and quality.
