The invention discloses a
distillation process for improving
honey flavor of
white spirit, which comprises the following steps: adding rice fermented mash into a
distillation kettle, distilling at the pressure of 0.6-0.8 atm and the
distillation temperature of 77-90 DEG C, and collecting fractions, specifically, after front 0.25 L foreshot is independently collected, continuously collecting the fractions until the alcoholic strength of the fractions is reduced to 40% vol to obtain high-degree rice-
flavor white spirit, the mixed
alcohol content is greater than 50% vol, then fractions are continuously collected until the
alcohol content of the fractions is reduced to 20% vol, low-
alcohol rice-
flavor liquor is obtained, the mixed
alcohol content is less than 30% vol, and the rice-
flavor liquor contains ethyl caprate, 3-methylbutyl octoate,
ethyl laurate,
ethyl myristate, 2, 4-di-tert-butylphenol, trans-
caryophyllene and other components. According to the method, the burnt taste generated in the distillation process of the rice-flavor liquor can be effectively reduced, and the characteristic flavors such as flower fragrance, fruit fragrance, sweet fragrance, caramel fragrance and honey fragrance of the rice-flavor liquor are improved.
