A method of batch distilling including providing a first substrate that upon distillation releases vapour having deleterious sulfur compounds, providing an inert still, adding the first substrate to the still, installing at least one first reactive article in the still and subsequently performing a first distillation run on the first substrate, such that the installed at least one first reactive article has a first exposed area that is exposed to the distillate, and collecting a first desired fraction from the first run. The distillation during the collection of the first desired fraction is performed at a rate of less than 5 L/(hr*m2) of collected first fraction per first exposed area. Compatible still and kit are also provided.
An improved method of maturation of an unaged or partially aged distilled spirit, the method comprising: exposing the spirit to at least one catalytic material consisting of a group selected from: iron oxide nanoparticles, alumina-supported Fe(II) complexes, Pd/C, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, carbon xerogels, carbon based solid acid catalysts, SO42−/TiO2/γ-Al2O3, an element selected from the group consisting of: columns 4-12 transition metals except for Fe, column 13 boron group, Si, and mixtures thereof; wherein throughout the exposing, the spirit is not being distilled, and the exposing is allowed until level of at least one maturation congener in the spirit attains predetermined desired congener level/s in the spirit.
