Aromas Included
Thirteen custom-created aromas to aid in training your nose to detect alcohols and compounds. Training to pick out these aromas in a finished product is an advanced skill; they are not aromas that regularly occur outside of distilling, especially in isolation.
- ACETALDEHYDE - Green Apple, Green, Grass.
- ACETONE - Nail Polish Remover.
- METHANOL - Absolutely clean, no aroma.
- ETHYL ACETATE - Solvent.
- ETHYL ALCOHOL (100%) - Vodka.
- PROPYL ALCOHOL - Rubbing Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol, sharper than Ethyl Alcohol.
- BUTYL ALCOHOL - Butane, Lighter Fluid.
- ACETIC ACID - Vinegar.
- AMYL ALCOHOL - Fruity, Banana, Pear, Band-Aid, Medicinal.
- FURFURAL - Brown, Caramel, Chocolate, Vanilla, Toast, Almond.
- HEADS - The first cuts off the distillate. They're high in Acetaldehyde, Acetone, Methanol, and Ethyl Acetate.
- HEARTS - Consists of primarily Ethanol with a combination of both Heads and Tails, and makes up all the distillate you keep and sometimes age before bottling.
- TAILS - The last cuts off the distillate. They're low in Ethanol and high in Congeners, and although they're not harmful, they don't taste like anything you'd want to drink.
