BAR "There are two reasons for drinking: one is, when you are thirsty, to cure it; the other, when you are not thirsty, to prevent it."

Amaro (Italian for "bitter") is an Italian herbal liqueur often originated in monasteries and pharmacies. Amaro is produced by macerating herbs, roots, flowers, bark, and/or citrus peels in alcohol, either neutral spirits or wine, mixing the filtrate with sugar syrup, and allowing the mixture to age in casks or bottles.

It was good at warming you up. For generations, Italians have sipped this "firewater" after meals and even added a little to their morning espresso, (café corretto) to "correct" it. Grappa was originally made in Bassano del Grappa – were it gets its name - a small town of Italy's northern Veneto region.

Bourbons impart a raw, sweet corn flavor as bourbon is made with at least 51% corn. Small batch bourbons are made in limited quantities, aged six to nine years, and are characteristic of pre-Prohibition whiskey, with strong, rich flavors, heat, and aromas.

Now in an era where strong flavors are back in style, rye is enjoying a new golden age. It must have a mash content of at least 51% rye and, if aged for at least two years in new charred oak barrels, it earns the moniker ‘straight rye’.

Derived from malted barley Scotch is double-distilled and the malted barley is dried using peat smoke, imparting earthy, smoky, salty and oily characteristics, depending upon the region in which it is produced. Scotch is aged first in used bourbon barrels for at least three years. Older, rarer Scotches receive additional aging in Madeira, port, or other casks. Scotland is split into five distinctive whiskey-producing regions. The same basic process is used to produce whiskey across the country, but subtle variations mean single malts from each region have unique characteristics and flavors. 14 HIGHLAND By far the biggest region geographically, the Highland malts inevitably embrace wide and robust flavor variations. Generally heavier and drier in character compared to other regions, whiskies from here often have nutty, honey, heather or peaty notes. Distilleries near the sea also have some salty, maritime influences in their malts.
