Abstract
An improved system and process for rapidly producing distilled spirits having characteristics associated with a much longer maturation process is provided. The method involves (a) subjecting an unmatured spirit to ultrasonic energy at a power of at least 3 Watts/Liter for at least one hour while maintaining the temperature of the unmatured spirit between 90° F. and 150° F.; and (b) subjecting the unmatured spirit and wood to actinic light at a wavelength ranging from 400 nm to 1000 nm for a cumulative exposure of at least 2,280,000 lux hours. The disclosure also provides embodiments where a spirit processed with ultrasonic energy is mixed with a spirit that has been separately treated with light to give characteristics of a mature spirit.
