It is expected that the results obtained in the liquorswill be similar to cane distillate used in its elaboration. However, it is estimated that formation ofthese compounds may occur during the liquors’ maturation period, due to alterations and sidereactions which have resulted in the liquors’ oxidation.The main goal is to determine the volatile compounds in the available liquors’ samples, as wellas the analysis of the obtained results and the comparison with those obtained in the cane distillateused in the maceration. Volatile compounds were determined by gas chromatography. Thealcohol content/alcoholic grade/degree of the liquors was also determined using the sametechnique. Finally, a statistical analysis of the results was carried out in order to study the behaviorof the variables and their relation with the characteristics of liquors’ elaboration method.
