Tequila
While many people may think so, tequila is not actually cactus juice. Tequila is distilled from blue Weber agave. Just like Champagne or cognac, tequila can only be made in a certain region. That region consists of the Mexican state of Jalisco and some surrounding areas. The soil in this region is perfect for growing the blue agave. This plant takes between eight and 12 years to reach maturity before it can be harvested.
How It’s Made
The heart of the plant, which can weigh well over 100 pounds, is peeled, roasted and crushed, and its sweet juice is then fermented and distilled. Premium tequila is made from pure agave and cheaper tequila is made from both agave and other sugars. Tequila is usually distilled twice.
Main Categories
Blanco – also called silver, plata or platinum – is aged for less than two months and is clear.
Reposado – is aged between two and 12 months and is a golden colored.
Anejo – is aged between one and three years and is a whiskey-like brown
Tequila, similar to most Scotches, is typically aged in used bourbon casks.
Gin
Gin has been the drink of choice for statesmen soldiers, WASPs, and even the working class. This spirit is a favorite of mixologists around the world and its history is colorful and quite dramatic. The origins of gin are somewhat debatable, several hundred years ago, someone most likely began to infused alcohol with juniper berries and other different botanicals. Gin is still made this way today, and each different brand has its own recipe and techniques for infusion. All gin has some sort of juniper flavor, but the other botanicals can consist of herbs, vegetables, flowers, fruits, spices, and even tea.
Gin is a good seller these days, but it was extremely popular in England in the 18th century. By 1720, an estimated 25 percent of all London households produced or sold gin. Gin was also highly sought after during prohibition. Gin could be made easily and quickly, and it could even be made in a bathtub.
A lot of the gin that is sold now is the “London dry” style. While this is the most common style, there are several different styles that are available for purchase.
Rum
People who love rum should be thankful for the sugar cane. The production of sugar creates a lot of byproducts, including molasses. There wasn’t much use for this thick, sticky, and sweet substance until it was discovered that molasses could be fermented and then distilled. Rum quickly became popular with pirates, sailors, and America’s founders.
When producing rum, the rules vary greatly from country to country. There are two main types of run: light and dark. The color is determined by the amount of time it has been aged in oak barrels. The longer it’s been aged, the more color and flavor it picks up from the barrels. No matter if it’s light or dark, most rum is made from molasses, but some brands do make their rum from fresh sugar cane juice.
