	Distilled beverage - Definition, explanation
		A distilled beverage, also called spirits, is a preparation for consumption containing ethyl alcohol purified by distillation, or other method, from a substance such as wine, grain or wood.
		In a basic form the technique of distillation goes back to Babylonia in the fourth millennium BC when specially shaped clay plots, it is thought, were used to extract some small amounts of distilled alcohol through natural cooling, for the manufacture of perfumes.
		Distillation seems to have been known by alchemists in Alexandria, around the 3rd century AD, who used alcohol only for the coloring of metal and sublimation and was not widely known.

		The regulation and taxation of alcohol beverages remains a function of the Department of the Treasury and is the responsibility of TTB.
		This study did not examine malt beverages labeled and marketed as flavored beers, flavored ales, and so forth (such as ``cherry beer'' or ``pumpkin ale'') since these types of malt beverages typically have the character of malt beverages and their alcohol is derived primarily from fermentation.
		Likewise, while other brands of flavored malt beverages are not labeled with distilled spirits brand names, their labeling or packaging, which often resembles that of nonalcoholic beverages such as juices, sodas, bottled water, and energy drinks, is likely to confuse consumers as to their identity as alcohol beverages.

	Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing \| Business Directory
		The industry group, Beverage Manufacturing, includes three types of establishments: (1) those that manufacture nonalcoholic beverages; (2) those that manufacture alcoholic beverages through the fermentation process; and (3) those that produce distilled alcoholic beverages.
		Ice manufacturing, while not a beverage, is included with nonalcoholic beverage manufacturing because it uses the same production process as water purification.
		Brandy, a distilled beverage, was not placed under distillery product manufacturing, but rather under the NAICS class for winery product manufacturing since the productive process used in the manufacturing of alcoholic grape-based beverages produces both wines (fermented beverage) and brandies (distilled beverage).
