Alcohol acetyltransferase that catalyzes the synthesis of ethyl acetate from ethanol and acetyl-CoA (PubMed:28356220). Can also function as a thioesterase by hydrolyzing acetyl-CoA in the absence of ethanol, as well as esterase hydrolyzing ethyl acetate (By similarity). acetyl-CoA + ethanol = CoA + ethyl acetate acetyl-CoA + H2O = acetate + CoA + H(+) ethyl acetate + H2O = acetate + ethanol + H(+) Reduces ethyl acetate production by at least 80%. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily.
