There are 8 different pentanols, (also called amyl alcohols), some of which, including pentan-1-ol, occur in fusel alcohol. Fusel alcohol is a by product of the fermentation process which produces ethanol. Thus at least some of the penanols are likely to occur in natural fermentation processes. Others are largely produced synthetically.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyl_alcohol
