Just out of idle curiosity, do the fusil oils etc pre-exist in the

The latter. They are by-products of alcoholic fermentation, principally
amyl alcohol, propanol and butanol.

Ironically, this morning I went to youtube and searched on "isoamyl alcohol"
and the first video that came up on the list was a paid ad from Smirnoff.
