The distillate is infused on oak chips treated at a temperature of 150°C-250°C, at the rate of 20-30 g/l for 20-24 days, with periodic dosing of oxygen. The waste wood chips are separated from the distillate, poured with corrected water, at the ratio of 1:10-1:20, infused for 2-3 days at 25-30°C, and the wash water is decanted.
