I believe wood alcohol and other stuff,  I am not an expert on
distilation.  Most of my information comes through the vinue of WINE
barrels and how they are different from wisky/ berbon barrels.  I also
think some of the problems arrise in any form of distillation which
concentrates these other posions along with the alcohol.  Activated
charcol takes some of them out.
