distillate
Boiled-off liquid concentrate
A distillate is what remains after distillation—the substance collected when a liquid is vaporized and then condensed.
Whiskey is a distillate of fermented grain mash; essential oils are distillates of plant material.
Figuratively, a distillate is the concentrated essence of something: The essay was a distillate of years of research.
