Would it contain those traces if it were produced with molecular sieves rather than benzene?

- mirimir 9y agoProbably not. But distillation is still the norm, isn't it?
- microcolonel 9y agoI don't know, but I do know there are facilities producing food and pharmaceutical grade 200 proof spirits using molecular sieves for the last 3-5% of water (I'm guessing followed by another distillation to remove the sieve particulate).
- mirimir 9y agoVery cool. My knowledge is obviously dated. I recall adding molecular sieves to absolute ethanol to keep it dry. Bu I didn't know that had gone commercial.
