This is the name given to the
product of the first distillation in the Pot Still process of
manufacture. It is the distillate derived from the wash
and contains all the alcohol and secondary constituents
and some water. It forms the raw material of the second
distillation, which is carried out in the Spirit Still. The
feints and foreshots are added to the low wines when the
Spirit Still is charged.
