A distilled beverage, liquor, or spirit is an alcoholic beverage containing ethanol that is produced by distilling (i.e., concentrating by distillation) ethanol produced by means of fermenting grain, fruit, or vegetables.[1] This excludes undistilled fermented beverages such as beer, wine, and hard cider.
The term hard liquor is used in North America to distinguish distilled beverages from undistilled ones (implicitly weaker).
