The liquid produced by distillation; the pure or concentrated substance collected after heating and condensing a mixture.
From Latin distillatum (dripped down), past participle of distillare. The -ate suffix marks it as the product or result of the distillation process.
Whiskey, vodka, perfume, and turpentine are all distillates—this word unites a surprising range of products because they all rely on the same ancient technology for purity.
