Spirits & Liqueurs
The alcohol (if consumed responsibly) is able to bring some spirit or life to your reality. Right?
If you for a moment just think about the distillation process you’ll realize that actually, we’re drinking the spirit of fermented drink. Don’t you think?
The easiest definition would be “spirits are produced by distillation process and contain a high volume of alcohol.” It’s important to keep in mind that the term “spirit” couldn’t refer to alcohol in general. Beers and Wines contain less ABV. Furthermore, they are obtained in different ways. Wine is produced in the fermentation process, and beer is brewed.
For instance, spirits are usually around 35 – 40% ABV, while beers are around 5% ABV and wines are a bit higher around 12%.
There are six main spirits: brandy, gin, rum, whiskey, vodka, and tequila.
