Spirits are distilled alcoholic beverages mainly manufactured by completing all the distillation processes. After removing all the impurities, the mixture is decontaminated in order toenhance the percentage of alcohol content. In different regions, spirits are also known as liquors or hard liquors to differentiate between distilled or non-distilled beverages. However, beer, wine and cider due to their less alcohol content are not counted as spirits. In the beverages industry, distinguitions of distilled spirits are done in three major groupings which include brown, white and specialties. White spirits include gin, vodka, rum, and tequila. Brown spirits only include whiskies. Specialties consist of liqueurs, brandies, cordials and many other spiritous beverages. Brown, white and specialty spirits including vodkas, whiskies and others are often manufactured by fermentation and distillation of grains such as wheat, corn, barley, rye, and few others. However beside this, spirits are also procured from bases of plants, fruits, tubers and roots. For example, brandies are obtained from grapes, rums are extracted from sugarcane based materials and sugarcane, vodka from potatoes, tequila from Mexican blue agave plant and so on and so forth. Whiskeys and brandies are considered as aged distilled spirits where the aging is executed in oak barrels which impart color and adds aromas and flavor to the liquors. The production of spirits consists of two vital processing steps, one is fermentation and the other one is distillation. In the fermentation process, the organic substance for instance grain mash is transformed to alcohol. Whereas, in the distillation process the fermented beverage is strengthened and purified by means of condensation, boiling and collection.
