Off hand, I don't know, but I suspect, yes. The point is that methanol has a lower boiling point than ethanol, which has a lower boiling point than water, which means that when you distill the mash, you're going to get methanol and ethanol off in higher concentrations first. IIRC, you also get higher alchols (fusil oils?) which, I believe, are an important cause of bad hangovers.
