History of Distilled Spirits
The earliest evidence of distilled spirits dates back to the 12th century. However, it was not until the 16th century that distillation became widespread. During this time, alchemists and apothecaries began to experiment with distilling alcohol from various plants and fruits.
The first distilled spirits were used for medicinal purposes. However, they quickly became popular as recreational beverages. By the 18th century, distilled spirits were being produced and consumed in large quantities all over the world.
Production of Distilled Spirits
Distilled spirits are produced by distilling fermented liquids. Fermentation is the process of converting sugars into alcohol. Distillation is the process of separating alcohol from other components of the fermented liquid.
There are two main methods of distillation: pot stills and column stills. Pot stills are used to produce small batches of spirits, while column stills are used to produce large batches of spirits. The type of still used will affect the flavor and aroma of the final product.
Appreciation of Distilled Spirits
Distilled spirits can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. They can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or mixed with other ingredients to create cocktails.
When tasting distilled spirits, it is important to pay attention to the following factors:
- Aroma: The aroma of a distilled spirit can tell you a lot about its flavor. Take a few deep sniffs and try to identify the different aromas that you can detect.
- Taste: The taste of a distilled spirit is complex and can vary depending on the type of spirit, the ingredients used, and the production process. Take a sip and let the flavors develop in your mouth.
- Finish: The finish of a distilled spirit is the lingering taste that remains in your mouth after you have swallowed it. A good finish will be smooth and pleasant.
