Armagnac
Description: Armagnac (like cognac) is distilled from white wine grapes, namely the Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc and Colombard varieties. After
distillation, it's aged in casks made primarily from local Monlezun black oak. The key technical difference between Armagnac and cognac is that the latter is distilled twice,
whereas the former is distilled only once. This means more time in the oak for Armagnac; the extra patience required rewards a brandy with more finesse and roundness.

Brandy
Description: Brandy is a spirit made by distilling grapes to a higher proof than they achieve as wine. Most brandy is made from actual grape
wine, though some may also be made from the pulpy mixture of stems and seeds left after grapes are pressed, and some is made from the fermented juices of fruits other than
grapes. Brandy has been an extremely popular drink for hundreds of years and is most often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink.

Liqueurs
Description: A liqueur is an alcoholic beverage that has been flavored with fruit, herbs, nuts, spices, flowers, or cream and bottled with
added sugar. Liqueurs are typically quite sweet; they are usually not aged for long but may have resting periods during their production to allow flavors to marry. Liqueurs are
sweet and, at times, creamy. They can stand alone, be mixed in cocktails and are often flavored with fruits, herbs and spices. The word liqueur comes from the Latin word
liquifacere, which means "to dissolve." This refers to the dissolving of the flavorings used to make the liqueur.

Whisky
Description: Whiskey is a drink made by distilling grains and aging the resulting alcohol in oak casks. It may also be spelled whisky,
particularly when describing Scotch whisky, Indian whisky, Bourbon Whisky or Canadian whisky. Irish whiskey and American whiskey are usually spelled with the
added ‘e’. The word whiskey is derived from an Irish Gaelic term, uisge beatha, which is often translated as “the water of life”. Whiskey, like many grain alcohols, may be made
using an assortment of different grains. Common whiskey grains are rye, barley, corn, and wheat. Whiskey is sometimes referred to as the “juice of the barley”, an allusion to
the grain used in creating that type of whiskey.

Single Malt
Description: Single malt Scotch is a type of single malt whisky, distilled by a single distillery in a pot still, using malted barley as the
only grain ingredient, in Scotland. As with any Scotch whisky, a Single Malt Scotch must be distilled in Scotland and matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years
(most single malts are matured for longer). Single indicates that all the malts in the bottle come from a single distillery. Multi-distillery malts are usually called
"blended malt", "vatted malt" or "pure malt". Malt indicates that the whisky is distilled from a single "malted" grain. Not all grains can be malted (rye is another grain
which can be malted) but in the case of single malt Scotch, barley is always the grain used.

Tequila
Description: Tequila dates back about two thousand years when Indian tribes in central Mexico discovered that, if the juice of the agave
plant was exposed to air, it would ferment and produce a thick, slightly alcoholic drink. The Aztecs called the fermented agave juice "octilli poliqhui." The Spanish later
called it "pulque."
