Whiskey

Rice, G. W. Determination of Impurities in Whiskey Using Internal Standard Techniques, /. Chem. Educ. 1987, 64, 1055-1056. 

An internal standard of 1-butanol is used to determine the concentrations of one or more of the following impurities commonly found in whiskey acetaldehyde, methanol, ethyl acetate, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, acetic acid, 2-methyl-1-butanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol. A packed column using 5% Garbowax 20m on 80/120 Garbopak B and an EID detector were used.

The word alcohol, like alchemy, has its origins in the Middle East. The Arabs are said to have made cosmetic paints by heating and vaporizing a mixture of compounds. The residue was used to paint eyeUds and called "kohl." When they later heated wines, they gave the product the same name as the cosmetic "kohl" or "al kohl." The word whiskey is said to be derived from the Celtic "uisge baugh" or "water of life."... 

The colonists are said to have practiced distillation before 1650. The Virginia setders made brandies and those in New England and the middle colonies distilled a variety of products including apple whiskey (apple jack), mm, and brandy. The first beverages made by the colonists from com and rye were distilled on Staten Island, New York, in 1640 by William Kieft. Rum was produced in Barbados from molasses around 1650 and in colonial Massachusetts in 1657. 

In the 1880s and 1890s, whiskey production grew significantiy. Excessive production and intense competition resulted in mergers such as the Whiskey Tmst in Peoria and the Kentucky Distilleries and Warehouse Companies. They attempted to control production and raise prices but had tittle success in doing so.
