The term "fusel" comes from the German word meaning "bad liquor" or "inferior alcohol," as it was originally considered an unwanted byproduct of distillation.
Fusel oil has played an important role in creating traditional alcoholic beverages across various cultures, contributing to their characteristic aroma and taste.
Each plant source produces fusel oil with different characteristics, with grape-derived fusel oil tending to have more fruity notes, while potato-derived fusel oil offers more earthy aromas.
