Apple alcohol is made by fermenting and distilling apples. This process utilizes the natural sugars present in apples to produce alcohol.
Through a combination of fermentation and distillation, a high concentration of alcohol can be achieved. The fermentation step converts the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and distillation then separates and concentrates the alcohol. As the reference states, through this process, an alcohol content of 96% can be reached due to fermentation of the natural sugars that exist within apples.
Essentially, apple alcohol refers to the spirit obtained by extracting and refining the alcohol produced from apples, often resulting in a very high proof.
- Process: Fermentation followed by distillation
- Source: Natural sugars in apples
- Potential Strength: Up to 96% alcohol content
