Sweet or dry alcoholic beverages, often flavored with fruits, herbs, or spices, and sometimes containing cream, are known as liqueurs. These drinks have a history dating back to medicinal herbs, which used to be prepared by monks.
The process of elaboration of the liquor begins with the selection and preparation of the ingredients. These can include fruits, herbs, spices, grains, or even roots, depending on the type of liquor one wishes to produce. The ingredients are usually washed, peeled, and crushed to release their flavors and aromas. The ingredients are then combined with an alcoholic base, which can be brandy, vodka, or another neutral alcohol. This mixture is placed in airtight containers, such as barrels or fermentation tanks, and allowed to sit for a set period to allow the flavors and aromas to infuse into the alcohol. After the maceration stage, we proceed to distillation. This process involves heating the alcoholic mixture in stills or distillation columns to separate the volatile components of the alcohol and obtain a purer and more concentrated distillate. Once the distillate is obtained, additional adjustments can be made, such as adding sugar, syrup, or natural extracts to balance the flavor and sweetness of the liquor. Finally, the liquor is filtered, bottled, and labeled for sale. Some liqueurs may require an additional period of aging in oak barrels or other containers to develop more depth and complexity of flavor.
Liquor tasting is a process that allows us to fully appreciate its flavors and characteristics. First, choose a suitable glass, preferably crystal and with a shape that allows the aromas to be concentrated. Make sure the cup is clean and free of residual odors. Pour a small amount of liquor into the glass and watch it carefully. Look at its color, transparency, and viscosity. These aspects can reveal clues about the quality and possible age of the liquor. Bring the glass up to your nose and take a moment to smell the aromas of the liquor. Take soft, deep breaths, trying to identify the different nuances. Pay attention to any fruity, herbal, spicy or floral notes that you can perceive. Take a small sip of the liquor and let it spread throughout your mouth, paying attention to the flavors and sensations you experience. Allow the liquor to mix with the air so that the aromas intensify in your mouth. Note the sweetness, bitterness, acidity, and any other flavor profiles present. Observe the texture of the liquor in the mouth. Is it light, silky, oily, or viscous? Pay attention to the finish, that is, how the flavor of the liquor lingers on your palate after swallowing. Is it long, short, dry, or sweet? Take a moment to reflect on your tasting experience. Think about the flavors, aromas, and sensations you have experienced. Compare your impressions with the typical descriptions and characteristics of the liquor you are tasting.
