If you have little to no experience in the world of liquor and beverages or want to refresh your current knowledge on the subject this course might be for you.
Together we will discuss the more common liquors you’ll come across in the industry. Since there are hundreds of different beverages, variaties, brands with all different labels we have to focus on the most useful or practical spirits. Since there are so many variaties it’s easy to become overwhelmed by this, so I’ve tried to clearify everything in a structural manner so you’ll have a good basic foundation to build from.
We will discuss distillates like gin, vodka, tequilla and the variaties. And we will go over what fortified wines are and how they are made. What is the difference between red port and white port, and what about a vintage port? How is sherry different from port? We’ll dive into the four famous whiskey producing countries, USA, Canada, Ireland en Scotland. And we will discuss the more different types of spirits like mistelles and eau de vie. Ever thought about what a brandy is? And what is cognac and how is it different from armagnac or a macvin. In this course you’ll find out.
