Dilution of whisky – the molecular perspective | Scientific Reports

"We carried out computer simulations of water-ethanol mixtures in the presence of guaiacol, providing atomistic details on the structure of the liquid mixture. We found that guaiacol is preferentially associated with ethanol, and, therefore, primarily found at the liquid-air interface in mixtures that contain up to 45 vol-% of ethanol. At ethanol concentrations of 59 … Continue reading Dilution of whisky – the molecular perspective | Scientific Reports
