Scope and Applicability This PCR applies to factory-gate production of products within the reviewed semantic boundary of other spirituous beverages and undenatured ethyl alcohol with actual alcoholic strength below 80% vol. It covers the declared route from receipt of fermentable agricultural or food-industry raw material, or from receipt of purchased agricultural ethyl alcohol or distillate, through conditional raw-material preparation, fermentation, distillation or rectification, maturation, blending, filtration, cleaning, quality release, and filling and packaging. The category is deliberately broader than any one spirit type, raw material, alcohol strength, maturation period, or package. A concrete data package shall identify whether its product is a spirit drink, another potable spirituous beverage, or undenatured ethyl alcohol below 80% vol; its legal sales name; raw-material route; actual alcoholic strength by volume at 20 °C; maturation status; formulation; and market condition. The official CPC title defines the classification context, while applicable market law and product specifications govern legal identity. Sources: `unsd-cpc-3-24139`; `eu-reg-2019-787`. Excluded products are denatured alcohol, ethyl alcohol at 80% vol or higher, beer, wine, cider, perry, mead, and other fermented beverages not distilled or otherwise within the spirituous-beverage identity, and spirit products assigned to a separately reviewed narrower PCR. Agricultural production, manufacture of purchased alcohol or distillate, barrel manufacture, packaging manufacture, and downstream distribution are linked as upstream or downstream datasets unless explicitly included in the declared foreground boundary. The whey-spirit and white-whiskey study is a single clear, unaged case. It supports the existence and process decomposition of the conditional cheese-whey route only; it does not define this category or any category-wide quantitative range.

Validation Rules | rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `validate_scope` | reference product | The product is an other spirituous beverage or undenatured ethyl alcohol below 80% vol within the declared semantic boundary; denatured alcohol, alcohol at or above 80% vol, and excluded fermented beverages are rejected. | `unsd-cpc-3-24139`; `eu-reg-2019-787` | | `validate_reference_identity` | reference flow | Net mass, product identity, legal name, raw-material route, ABV at 20 °C, density, maturation state, formulation, package state, Mass UUID, unit-group UUID, and kg unit are present and consistent; the unresolved product-flow UUID remains a review blocker for publication. | `eu-reg-2019-787`; `oiv-spirit-analysis-compendium-2023` | | `validate_abv_conversion` | alcoholic liquids | Every volume-to-mass and pure-alcohol conversion retains measured volume, density, temperature, ABV method, formula, and unit conversion; water density and nominal label strength are not substituted. | `eu-reg-2019-787`; `oiv-spirit-analysis-compendium-2023` | | `validate_route_coverage` | process map | Each on-site feedstock-preparation, fermentation, energy, cooling, distillation, rectification, maturation, blending, filtration, cleaning, wastewater, and packaging operation is activated or explicitly documented as not applicable. | `eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019`; `eu-reg-2019-787` | | `validate_atomic_flows` | inventory | Every fermentable raw material, yeast, enzyme, auxiliary, water role, electricity use, steam or heat carrier, fuel, refrigerant, cleaner, barrel, bottle, closure, label, box, film, waste, wastewater indicator, and air emission is a separate atomic row. | | | `validate_energy_no_double_count` | steam and fuels | Purchased steam and on-site fuel combustion are reconciled so that internal steam transfer is not assigned a second upstream production burden. | `eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019` | | `validate_refrigerants` | cooling circuits | Each refrigerant identity has separate make-up and leakage rows derived from a circuit mass balance; refrigerants are not grouped or hidden in electricity. | `eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019` | | `validate_waste_emissions` | outputs | Fermentation CO2, ethanol releases by process, combustion pollutants, stillage, spent wash, spent lees, sludge, cleaning wastewater, COD, BOD5, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and each packaging waste are independently reported at a declared boundary and destination. | `eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019` | | `validate_mass_balance` | process and total foreground | Material and pure-alcohol balances reconcile inputs, conforming product, co-products, wastes, direct releases, samples, rework, and stock change; residuals are investigated and disclosed. | | | `validate_ranges` | all quantitative ranges | No single-case value is expressed as a category range. A source-backed empirical range requires at least two independent boundary-compatible original sources and an explicit synthesis; otherwise the range is omitted and the evidence need remains in manifest review metadata. | `risner-et-al-2018-whey-spirits` | ## 10. Published Dataset Profile | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | dataset_role | Foreground production dataset for one finished other spirituous beverage or undenatured ethyl alcohol product below 80% vol | | downstream_use | `secondary_dataset`; `background_dataset` after methodology review, UUID resolution, and publication | | allowed_use | Life-cycle inventory, product carbon footprint, environmental footprint, supply-chain assessment, and facility improvement where product identity, raw-material route, ABV, technology, geography, maturation, formulation, and package format are compatible | | excluded_use | Denatured alcohol; alcohol at or above 80% vol; excluded beer, wine, cider, perry, mead, or other fermented beverages; another spirit type or route without compatibility review; comparative claims that ignore recipe, ABV, maturation, or packaging differences | | required_metadata | PCR id and version; product class and legal name; target market; site and period; raw-material and alcohol origin; yeast and enzyme route; process map; distillation technology; measured ABV and density at stated temperature; maturation vessel and duration; formulation and filtration; bulk or package format; allocation; upstream datasets | | required_quality_disclosure | Primary-data coverage; calibration and laboratory methods; mass and pure-alcohol balance closure; allocation; co-product treatment; wastewater sampling; direct-emission method; refrigerant balance; packaging evidence; proxies; exclusions; uncertainty; unresolved UUIDs and range evidence | | update_trigger | Material change in product identity, legal specification, raw material, fermentation organism, enzyme route, still or rectification technology, fuel or electricity supply, refrigerant, maturation, formulation, filtration, cleaning, wastewater treatment, package format, allocation, site, or applicable market requirements | ## 11.
