Distillation Distillation Alcohol receiver, or alcohol-receiver, refers to the receptacle for receiving alcohol after distillation. It is used to denote anything with which alcohol can be received in, for scientific or recreational purposes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alcohol receiver"
In chemistry, azeotropic distillation is any of a range of techniques used to break an azeotrope in distillation. ...more on Wikipedia about "Azeotropic distillation"
Continuous distillation is a distillation process, which does not require interruption for adding raw material. This requires the reboiler to be constantly fed with new raw material and drained of the bottoms product. The opposite is batch distillation, where a batch of liquid is boiled in the reboiler, and then removed after a desired yield is reached. ...more on Wikipedia about "Continuous distillation"
David Stewart (born 1945 in Ayr, Scotland) is the master blender and malt master for William Grant & Sons distillers. He joined the company in 1963 as an apprentice blender and assumed his current post 7 years later. He is the longest serving master blender in the industry to remain with one distiller. ...more on Wikipedia about "David Stewart (master blender)"

Distillation is a method of separation of substances based on differences in their vapor pressures. ...more on Wikipedia about "Distillation"
A distilled beverage, also called spirits or liquor, is a preparation for consumption containing ethyl alcohol purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as wine, malt, or grain. Distilled beverage is usually restricted to alcoholic beverages. ...more on Wikipedia about "Distilled beverage"
Distilled water is water that has had virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation ( boiling the water and collecting the steam). ...more on Wikipedia about "Distilled water"
Double distilled water (abbreviated "ddH2O" or "Bidest. water") is prepared by double distillation of deionized water. It is used, among other things, when single distillation does not lead to sufficiently pure water for some applications in biochemistry. ...more on Wikipedia about "Double distilled water"
Dried distiller's grain (or distiller's dried grain) is a cereal byproduct of the brewing process. It is created in distilleries by drying mash, and is subsequently sold for a variety of purposes, usually as fodder for livestock. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dried distiller's grain"
Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce liquid or gaseous products (which may condense into solids). As the products distill off, they are condensed and collected. This method usually requires higher temperatures than liquid distillation. The method can be used to obtain liquid fuels from coal and wood. It can also be used to break down mineral salts such as sulfates through thermolysis, in this case producing sulfur dioxide/ sulfur trioxide gas which can be dissolved in water to obtain sulfuric acid. This is how sulfuric acid was first produced. ...more on Wikipedia about "Dry distillation"
Extractive distillation is defined as distillation in the presence of a miscible, high boiling, relatively non-volatile component, the solvent, that forms no azeotrope with the other components in the mixture. Used for mixtures having a low value of relative volatility, nearing unity. Mixtures having a low relative volatility can not be separated by simple distillation because the volatility of both the components in the mixture is nearly the same causing them to evaporate at nearly the same temperature to a similar extent, whereby reducing the chances of separating either by condensation. ...more on Wikipedia about "Extractive distillation"
Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture of compounds by their boiling point, by heating to high enough temperatures. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fractional distillation"
Freeze distillation is a metaphorical term for a process of enriching a solution by partially freezing it and removing frozen material that is poorer in the dissolved material than is the liquid portion left behind. Such enrichment parallels enrichment by true distillation, where the evaporated and recondensed portion is richer than the liquid portion left behind. ...more on Wikipedia about "Freeze distillation"
The Lincoln County Process is a process used in making Tennessee whiskies such as Jack Daniel's and George Dickel. The whiskey is filtered though a column of charcoal chips before going into the casks for aging. Since this is an active filtering process, whiskey produced in this manner cannot be called bourbon. The process is named for Lincoln County, Tennessee, which was the location of Daniel's distillery at the time of its establishment; subsequent redrawing of county lines means that neither distillery currently using the process is located in its namesake county. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lincoln County Process"
A master blender is an individual who decides on the composition of blended spirits. For example, in the Scotch whisky industry, master blenders choose which single malts and grain whiskies are combined to make particular blended whisky. An important objective is often to maintain consistency over time. A typical blend might be composed of 20 different whiskies whose taste and price will vary over time, and, of course, it is possible that any one of them will go out of production. Consequently, it is sometimes necessary to replace whiskies that go into the blend. Other responsibilities include checking the maturation of spirits. ...more on Wikipedia about "Master blender"

A packed bed is a hollow tube or pipe that is filled with a packing material. The packing can be randomly filled small objects like Raschig rings or else it can be a specifically designed structured packing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Packed bed"
Raschig rings are referred to as random packing and are used in commercial fractional distillation columns to reduce pressure loss (versus using trays), while maintaining good efficiency and economy. Typically the change in pressure (also called "delta p") is lower than in the case of trays but slightly higher than for structured packing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Raschig ring"
Reactive distillation is a process where the chemical reactor is also the still. Separation of the product from the reaction mixture does not need a separate distillation step, which saves energy and materials. ...more on Wikipedia about "Reactive distillation"

Simple distillation is effective only when separating a volatile liquid from a nonvolatile substance or when separating two liquids that differ in boiling point by 50 degrees or more. If the liquids comprising the mixture that is being distilled have boiling points that are closer than 50 degrees to one another, the distillate collected will be richer in the more volatile compound but not to the degree necessary for complete separation of the individual compounds. ...more on Wikipedia about "Simple distillation"
A solar still is a very simple device for distilling water, powered by the heat of the sun. A few basic types of solar stills are cone shaped, boxlike, and pit. For cone solar stills, impure water is inserted into the container, where it is evaporated by the sun through clear plastic. The pure water vapor condenses on top and drips down to the side, where it is collected and removed. The most sophisticated of these are the box shaped types. The least sophisticated are the pit types. ...more on Wikipedia about "Solar still"
Sour mash is not a type or flavor of whiskey as is commonly thought. Rather, it is the name for a process in the distilling industry, similar to the making of sourdough bread. It was developed by Scottish chemist Dr. James C. Crow, while he was working at the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery (now the Woodford Reserve Distillery) in Woodford County, Kentucky. When a whiskey is sour mash, a portion of the old or "sour" mash, is added to the new mash. (The old mash is also called "feed mash," because the old grains are used as an ingredient in animal feed.) Mash is a mixture of grain, yeast and hotwater that the actually whiskey is made from. The sour mash process is done to improve the consistency and quality of the liquor, so that every bottle tastes as close to the same as possible. Also, the acid introduced by using the sour mash controls the growth of bacteria that could damage the whiskey. Sour mash is popular in bourbon whiskey and Tennessee whiskey. Some popular examples of sour mash whiskey are Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sour mash"
