This work describes the ionic composition studies of several distilled alcoholic beverages by ion chromatography with conductometric detection. Typical mass concentrations ranges for cations and anions have been established. Microelement migration from filter cardboard used in alcoholic beverage production has been researched. Introducing the described express methods into the quality control system for alcoholic beverages obtained from herbal raw materials will make it possible to control the critical points in their production, thereby timely eliminating the drinks quality deterioration causes.
