Spirits

As we're all aware, one of the defining characteristics to a spirit is taste. The flavour profile differs from one type of spirit to another and can include fruity, savoury, sweet and even spicy flavours! But how does this work?
 

What are Alcoholic Spirits and How is it Made?
 

Alcoholic spirits are a type of alcohol that is distilled to create a stronger, more concentrated product. It is made by taking fermented grains, fruits, or vegetables and distilling them to remove impurities and increase the alcohol content. This process can be done using a variety of methods, but the end result is a drink with a higher alcohol content than beer or wine.
 

There are many different types of alcoholic spirits, each with its own unique flavour and history. Some of the most popular include vodka, rum, whiskey, and tequila. Vodka is typically made from grain or potatoes, while rum is made from sugarcane. Whiskey is made from grain, and tequila is made from the agave plant.
 

No matter what type of spirit you're interested in, there's sure to be one that appeals to your taste. And with so many different ways to enjoy them, you're sure to find the perfect way to enjoy your favourite spirit. Whether you like it neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a cocktail, there's an alcoholic spirit out there for you.
 

History of Spirits
 

Spirits have been around for centuries, and their history is fascinating. From the early days of distillation to the modern day, spirits have played an important role in society. In this blog section, we'll explore the history of spirits and how they've evolved over time.
 

Spirits were first distilled in the Middle Ages, and they quickly became a staple of European culture. Early spirits were made from wine, and they were often used medicinally. As distillation techniques improved, spirits began to be made from other materials, including grain and fruit.
 

Spirits became particularly popular in the 18th century, when they were used to make cocktails. This was also the era when many famous spirit brands were founded, including gin, vodka, and rum. The 19th century saw a decline in spirits consumption, but they regained popularity in the 20th century.
 

Today, spirits are enjoyed all over the world, and they come in a wide variety of styles. Whether you prefer whiskey, vodka, or something else entirely, there's a spirit out there that's perfect for you. So raise a glass and enjoy a taste of history!
 

Pairing Alcoholic Spirits with Foods
 

When it comes to pairing alcoholic spirits with food, there are no hard and fast rules. However, there are some general guidelines that can help you create a harmonious and enjoyable pairing. 
 

The first thing to consider is the type of alcohol you're using. Generally speaking, lighter spirits like gin and vodka go well with lighter foods, while heavier spirits like whiskey and brandy are better suited for heartier dishes. 
 

Once you've selected your spirit, you can start thinking about what type of food will complement it. If you're serving a light spirit like gin, for example, you might want to pair it with something refreshing like a cucumber salad or a citrusy dessert. On the other hand, if you're serving a heavier spirit like whiskey, you might want to pair it with something rich and savoury like a burger or a grilled steak. 
 

Of course, these are just general guidelines. The most important thing is to use your own taste buds as your guide. Experiment with different combinations and see what you like best!
