The following are
famous liquors:

10. 1. Spirits

grains, fruits, plants and other
substances with sugar or starch

percent of alcohol or greater
and are not refined with flavor
during distillation process –with
the exception of modern spirits-
which are refined with flavors
after distillation such as The
Absolute (Swedish Vodka) and
Vodka Sobieski (with cranberry).

11. 1.1 Whiskey
It is a general name for liquors, which means
―water of life. It is distilled from a fermented
mash or corn or other cereal grains. Whiskeys
are broadly divided into two categories: straight
which are made of grain or malt (sprouted
grain); and blended, which is made from grain,
malt, and water. Other substances such as
sherry and burned sugar (caramel) are added in
small amounts to achieve various blended
whiskeys. Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage that
is commonly drank ―neat, or by itself with ice.
It is associated with scotch whiskeys, so is ―on
the rocks, which means with ice cubes only, as
in the oft-heard request: scotch on the rocks.
When it is mixed, it is combined with either
water or soda. It does not commonly share
billing with a major mix (citrus is an exception) –
for the clash would be a severe one.

12. 1.2 Gin
Gin comes from the French word genievre, which
means junifer berry, the chief flavoring agent in
gin. It is a the highly aromatic blue-green berry of
the junifer, a low slung evergreen bush (genus
Juniperus) that is commercially grown in Northern
Italy, Croatia, the United States, and Canada.
Present day gins are flavored, distilled, and
colorless to pale yellow liquor made from a
fermented mash of cereal grains. The distinct
flavor of the gin comes from exposing the vapor to
juniper berries and other plant products. It serves
as a mixer for cocktails like in Martini and Gimlet,
Tom Collins, and the Gin Tonic. It is recognized as
refreshing and cosmopolitan drink. Gin became
the darling of the famous canard cruises, when an
American hostess crossed the Atlantic from U.S.A
to the U.K. wanted to fill in her blank time party. In
the Philippines, the most popular brand of gin
among local consumers is the Ginebra San Miguel
label.

13. 1.3 Rum
It is distilled from a fermented mash of sugar
cane juice or molasses, which is produced in
most tropical countries and generally bottled
at 40 % alcohol. Rums usually derive their
name from their place of origin, and each has
its own distinctive flavor. Differing styles such
as Amber, Spiced, Dark and Blanco are
produced by different methods. In the
traditional method of process, sugar that has
been harvested is placed in a hacking
machine. Then the resulting small pieces are
then soaked in water and grounded. The juice
is extracted and filtered, then fermented.

14. 1.4. Vodka
This is clear and
colorless and thus
resembles gin but has
a faint Citrus- ike
flavor. It is often used
instead of gin or
whisky in mixed
drinks.
