A distilled beverage, spirit, liquor, hard liquor or hard alcohol is an alcoholic beverage produced through distillation of a mixture produced from alcoholic fermentation. This process purifies it and removes diluting components like water, for the purpose of increasing its proportion of alcohol content (also known as alcohol by volume or ABV).
