How are Spirits Made?

Spirits are produced by distilling grains, fruits, vegetables, or sugars that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation. These drinks have absorbed colours, flavours, aromas and textures from the wooden vessels in which they're aged and can also sometimes have colouring added. Popular spirits include vodka, gin, blanc tequila, cognac, rum, whisk(e)y, brandy, and tequila.
