In particular, large quantities of neutral alcohol are distilled from wine and by-products of wine production (pomace, lees [4]). A product made from grain is "neutral grain spirit", while a spirit made from grapes is called "grape neutral spirit" [5] or "vinous alcohol". [6] These terms are commonly abbreviated as either GNS or NGS. [7] [8] [9]
The limit of 80% maximum abv concentration for the distillation is a key element of the definition of straight whiskey. At alcohol concentrations exceeding this amount, most of the flavor from the original fermented mash that was used in the distillation process will be removed, resulting in a more neutral grain spirit.
