38 To measure the percent alcohol at the parot means:
[a ] [b ]
[c ] [d ]
to measure the percent alcohol in the receiver
to measure the percent alcohol that is presently flowing from the still
to measure the percent alcohol in the barrel
to measure the percent alcohol of the liquid loaded into the boiler
39 During a whiskey distillation run, the percent alcohol of the distillate:
[a ] [b ] [c ] [d ]
increases as the distillation progresses
fluctuates at first and then stays constant for the rest of the run varies with each phase of the distillation
decreases as the distillation progresses
40 During the barrel-aging process, the whiskey can take on a bitterness due to:
[a ] [b ] [c ] [d ]
lignins tannin vanillins oxidation
41 The optimum percent-alcohol range for aging whiskey in a new barrel is:
[a ] [b ] [c ] [d ]
42 A
[a ] [b ]
[c ] [d ]
85 – 95% 40 – 50% 55 – 65% 70 – 80%
low-humidity barrel warehouse results in:
an increase in percent alcohol
a decrease in the amount of vanillin extraction, and generally poorer whiskey
an increase in vanillin extraction, and generally better whiskey a tendency for the barrel to leak
