METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF STRONG DRINK Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C12G3/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: drink blend is prepared by mixing of alcohol distillates soaked in contact with oak wood, softened water and sugar syrup in two stages. At the first stage alcohol distillates and sugar syrup are mixed to provide for required conditions of sugar in finished blend after mixing with softened water at the second stage, this mixture is saturated with oxygen up to 2-40 mg/dm³. Mixture is heated up to temperature of 60-75°C and treated with heat at this temperature for 2-5 hours. At the second stage mixture of distillates and sugar syrup on completion of thermal treatment is introduced into softened water previously cooled down to 2-15°C until required conditions of alcohol content are obtained. Then finished blend is soaked at available temperature until oxygen is fully bound, filtered and sent for post-blending rest. Alcohol distillate is represented by cognac alcohol or grape crude alcohol, or grain alcohol, or mixture of specified alcohols. It makes it possible to produce strong drinks that are harmonic in taste and flavour in shorter time of post-blending rest - 28-32 days, to increase stability of drinks against cloudiness: in cognacs - more than 2 years, in brandy - more than 12 months, in whiskey - 14 months, in other drinks - more than 11 months.

EFFECT: production of high-quality strong drink with guaranteed stability.
