Vin Jaune from the Jura has several designations of origin: Château-Chalon (AOC), Arbois, (AOC) and Arbois-Pupillin, L’étoile (AOC) as well as les Côtes-du-Jura. The “appellation” means that the origin and the quality of “Yellow Wines” are certified. Bestwine • Online only suggests references of Vins jaunes with a certified origin. Vin jaune or “Yellow Wine” is valued by chefs and sommeliers in starred gastronomic restaurants. Benefitting from several years ageing in oak barrels, Vin Jaune has unusual flavours. This long conservation in barrels, gives Vin Jaune complex flavours and aromas. Vin jaune or “Yellow Wine” has a characteristically woody, spicy, or grilled aroma. It is possible to detect flavours of walnut, nuts, almonds, honey, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, celery or even curry when tasting “Yellow Wine”. It Is aged in used oak barrels which have been used for other Vin Jaunes or Burgundies. In these used oak barrels sotolon develops which is a strong aromatic compound giving “Yellow Wine” its characteristic flavour. Vin Jaune on the wine list of starred gastronomic restaurants “Yellow Wine” has an attractive appearance, a golden bright yellow drink, it glitters in a glass, showing pretty reflections. In addition, Vin Jaune is put into originally shaped bottles called clavelin. A clavelin is a wine bottle which contains 62 centilitres and is only used to bottle” Yellow Wine” since the 18th Century. The Clavelin has become an emblem of Vin Jaune and even the Jura. Clavelin has a specific legal derogation to the winegrowing regulations granted by the European Union in 1980, to certify its unique shape and volume. Vin Jaune is a wine that can be kept, which means that it can be kept several years in a bottle. In starred gastronomic restaurants’ wine cellars, bottles of Vin Jaune dating back several decades are frequently found. This long conservation comes from the fact that Vin Jaune has specific chemical reactions due to its contact with the wood, bacteria, and yeast. Naturally, the longer the conservation the more elaborate and unusual the variety of flavours. It is interesting to note that some bottles of “Yellow Wine” have been sold at auction for several tens of thousands of Euros. Amongst them a Vintage Vin Jaune dating back to 1774 which was still of very good quality despite its great age. So, in starred gastronomic restaurants, and wine cellars Vintage Vin Jaune is very often found. In starred gastronomic restaurants, Vin Jaune can be served as aperitif or as an accompaniment for a starter, a main course, or a dessert. Vin Jaune goes with fish like Trout “au bleu”, or poultry like “Poularde aux Morilles” or “la Croûte aux Morilles”. Vin Jaune can also accompany typical regional Cdishes from the Franche- Comté like Chicken a la Comtoise or Potée Comtoise. It is an ideal alcoholic drink to go with foie gras or Comté, a local cheese. Vin Jaune is served chilled in ordinary wine glasses to appreciate the richness of its aromas.

To be more precise, Gin is a spirit, as the alcohol is obtained after distillation. Gin appears to be one of the first spirits produced In Europe. It was first produced in the 17th Century. Originally, Gin was called Jenever which evolved to become Juniper; an alcohol considered to be the ancestor of Gin. So, Gin has its roots in both these words. It was mainly consumed in Holland and Belgium. Jenever, Juniper and Gin have one point in common, they are all made with Juniper berries. Gin may have been first produced by a doctor called Franciscus Slyvius. The main Gin producing countries are Holland and England. The English were the main buyers of Dutch Jenever. This spirit was very popular in England, so it is logical that the first Gin distilleries developed in England after the Dutch ones. The origin of this alcohol allows 2 great varieties of Gin to be distinguished: Juniper (Dutch or Belgian Gin): Juniper is an alcohol produced by the distillation of fermented rye flour and cornflour, redistilled after adding herbs: essentially juniper berries but also coriander, fennel, cumin, liquorice, aniseed, orange peel, almonds, fresh fruit, etc. London Dry Gin (English Gin): The London Dry Gin does not denote the origin of the Gin; it is more a consequence of the English regulations. In fact, English distillers do not have the right to distillate the basic grain alcohol, necessary ingredient of Gin production. They buy the rye flour and cornflour alcohol, then elaborate the Gin either by distilling the alcohol with herbs including the juniper, or by mixing the base with an alcoholate of herbs and distilled water. Juniper can be differentiated from London Dry Gin by its more pronounced flavour. Juniper has more character than London Dry Gin which is easier to use in cocktails. London Dry Gin is more commonly drunk by the public. Gin is a spirit which is rarely vintage. Gin became more popular through the centuries in several European countries and throughout the world. Many countries produce Gin, notably Belgium, France, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Germany or Switzerland. There are also Gin distilleries in Spain, particularly in the Balearic Islands. Minorca was once occupied by England who produced this famous alcohol there. Outside of Europe, the United States and Japan are also part of the principal Gin productors. Once again, the presence of the English helped contribute to the production of Gin. A large number of western countries consume Gin. In this reference list of the best Gins, you can find Gins from all over the world. Top Gin in starred gastronomic restaurants Gin is a very dry spirit which has floral and vegetable aromas due to the fermentation of the malt and the presence of junipers. Depending on the brands and references of Gins, it may have a fruity or more spicy flavour. Each herb included in the recipe brings its own aroma. So, Gin is an alcohol which has different tastes according to its recipe and can therefore be regularly reinvented. Gin is rarely served pure in gastronomic restaurants. However, some variants might be tasted on their own. Gin is mostly consumed as a cocktail like Gin and tonic. Some Gins served in gastronomic restaurants are flavoured. Most of the time, Gin is served as an aperitif and a cocktail. As for purists, they drink Gin on its own. Gin can be drunk as a liqueur, but it is not common practice. In some gastronomic restaurants. Gin is also used in dishes, mainly to make sauces.

In any case, gastronomic restaurants need to propose the most delicious and prestigious vodkas to their customers. Moreover, vodka is one of the main alcoholic drinks in the composition of cocktails. The wine list in a gastronomic restaurant grows richer from year to year with new vodka references. Over time, it improves, to continue proposing the best in vodka. In this, gastronomic restaurants can count on the work and passion of its professionals notably chefs and sommeliers. In these prestigious restaurants, the most experienced, talented, and demanding professionals know each other. They are the stars and the elite of French cooking and its dishes and drinks. The wine list, the bar and the wine cellar of a gastronomic restaurant are showcases of its standing. The reputation and the credibility of a restaurant is acquired when the staff of the restaurant have proved themselves. To obtain recognition from the public, the medias, and professionals of catering, a gastronomic restaurant must be continuously at the summit of its art by aiming for perfection. Restaurants that want to be considered as a reference need to be exemplary. It is the same for vodkas on the wine list of gastronomic restaurants. They have to be outstanding. To attain this excellence, gastronomic restaurants must propose to their customers the best productions and names in vodka. Therefore, they are likely to offer exceptional vodkas on their wine list. The Best vodkas served in award-winning gastronomic restaurants A good gastronomic restaurant is supported by reviews, which are made by clients, colleagues and the medias. Some reviews are also shared by jurys, these experts are likely to discern titles, prizes, and other awards. For a gastronomic restaurant one of the most prestigious awards is the acquisition of one or several Michelin stars by the Michelin Guide. The attribution of stars by the Michelin Guide is based on identical criteria to guarantee the coherence of the best restaurant’s distinction. There are five criteria: the quality of the products including wines and spirits, the control of the cooking and flavours, the personality of the chef in his cooking and in his menu and wine menu, value for money in his menu and wine list and consistency over the years in both the menu and the wine list. The inspectors representing the jury only judge « what is on the plate » and therefore what is in the glass of vodka. The stars only reward the quality of the cooking and the ingredients which are a part of it, notably vodkas. The Michelin Guide stars enable the restaurant’s wine list to be classed : 3 stars indicate that the cooking, the wine, and the vodkas are remarkable and are well worth a visit to the restaurant. 2 stars means that the restaurant, the wine, and vodkas are excellent and should be tried. 1 star signals a good restaurant and good wine and vodkas in its category. Choosing a vodka served in an award-winning gastronomic restaurant is the assurance of having an exquisite drink as it is a part of the alcohols which harmonize with the dish. Vodkas referenced on the wine list of gastronomic restaurants are an integral part of the ingredients judged for the award. Trust the expertise of the jury and the knowledge of chefs and wine waiters of gastronomic restaurants to choose your vodka. Top Vodkas according to the chefs and Sommeliers Gastronomic Restaurants are places where the best products and the most talented professionals go together. A gastronomic restaurant is not only food and drink, but above all the men who prepare them. Chefs and wine waiters are the guarantee of the excellence and prestige of a gastronomic restaurant. They are like the conductor of each well-known restaurant. The head chef of a restaurant has to offer the most creative and the best quality dishes. It is important to be aware that certain well-known chefs elaborate dishes from vodka. The chef should also be attentive to the quality of the drinks accompanying the meal, especially vodka. Vodka is moreover the alcohol traditionally drunk with one of the most prestigious of all dishes: caviar. The wine waiter’s task is to define the richest wine list with the best tasting wines and spirits. He must also supply the wine cellar and the bar with selected bottles of vodka. The chef and the sommelier at the head of a gastronomic restaurant are therefore both responsible for the content of their dishes and their alcoholic drinks. The prestige of the restaurant is the result of their work. To choose the most complete and most coherent wine list, chefs and wine waiters of gastronomic restaurants are continuously searching for new discoveries in Vodkas. They are constantly searching for perfection, for the ideal, the best flavoured, the ultimate vodka to enrich their wine list, wine cellar and bar. To compose their wine list with the best referenced vodkas, chefs and wine waiters in gastronomic restaurants test them and share their opinions. They go tasting vodka all over the world in search of a rarity. They travel over agricultural land to meet producers. Chefs and sommeliers regularly visit distilleries and meet the professionals who give life to each bottle of vodka. Vodka can come from the transformation of several agricultural products. Most of the time it is made from cereals (rye and wheat) and potatoes, but other agricultural products can be used like beetroot (treacle) and fruit (apples and plums). So, each producer has his own recipe, method of production as well as specific tools to give life to this subtle elixir. Fermentation, distillation, ageing and bottling of vodka right up to the marketing of the product, the wine list of a gastronomic restaurant is also the result of an important amount of work by the producer of this alcoholic drink. gastronomic restaurants import therefore the best productions of vodka from all over the world.

It is an alcohol whose popularity is on the increase throughout the world, with a production of more than 7 million bottles. How about trying one of the greatest Armagnacs? Bestwine • Online the wine list from gastronomic restaurants introduces you to a selection of Armagnacs chosen by chefs and sommeliers from the greatest gastronomic establishments each year. The Regions of France which produce Armagnac are the Gers, the Landes and Lot-et-Garonne. Armagnac is made from white wine which is aged in oak barrels. This ageing gives Armagnac its brown, copper or golden colour according to the production. Different types of Armagnac can be distinguished by several names of origin: Bas-Armagnac: Armagnac produced in the Western Gers and the Landes. Armagnac-Ténarèze: Armagnac produced in Northern Gers and Lot-et-Garonne. Haut Armagnac: Armagnac produced South of the Armagnac producing region. There is also a White Armagnac which denominates Armagnac which has not been aged in a wooden cask White Armagnac is translucent. Categories of Armagnac: Armagnac *** (three star) or “VS” (Very Special): Armagnac aged in an oak barrel for at least a year. Armagnac “VSOP” (Very Superior Old Pale): Armagnac aged in an oak barrel for at least 4 years. Armagnac “Napoléon” or Armagnac “XO” (Extra Old): Armagnac aged in an oak cask for at least 6 years. Armagnac “hors d’âge”: Armagnac aged in an oak cask for at least 10 years. Armagnac “XO premium”: Armagnac aged in an oak barrel for at least 20 years. As it can be consumed as an aperitif or a liqueur, Armagnac is greatly appreciated for its originality in gastronomic restaurants. The white grape fermented in wooden casks allows the production of authentic flavours. Furthermore, each grape variety used in the production of Armagnac, also gives it a diversity in aromas. The alcohol content is on average 40%. In gastronomic restaurants, Armagnac is savoured neat in small glasses (6 or 9 cl) with a narrow neck like a whisky glass. The reduction in the size of the neck of the glass, allows the aromas of the Armagnac to be more concentrated. The flavour of Armagnac is influenced by its origins and its region of production. Bas-Armagnac is fruity with notes of plums, Armagnac-Ténarèzes is full-bodied with spicy and floral notes of violet and Haut-Armagnac tends to be more rustic. As for White Armagnacs, they are consumed neat like all white spirits. White Armagnac can be cooled in the fridge or by adding ice-cubes (on the rocks). White Armagnac can also be mixed (long drink) with sparkling or still water, soda, or fruit juice to make creative cocktails. Armagnac can be vintage, in which case, it must only be made with grapes harvested in the year indicated on the label.

Calvados is therefore an alcohol made with apples. Originally, Calvados was a working-class drink, appreciated by the Normans. Its name comes from the area of Calvados where it is produced. In the old days, Norman bars served café-calva, which is not served as regularly now. Today, Calva has become a fine alcohol which is selected with great care. Calva is a spirit which is savoured and appreciated like Brandy, for example. Calvados must imperatively age at least two years in an oak barrel to obtain its label. It is, moreover, this ageing that give it an amber colour, which is the result of the liquid taking the essence from the wood fibre through time. The wooden cask confers a specific flavour to the Calva. Like other spirits, the age of Calvados confers it different distinctions: Calvados VS (Very Special): 24 months conservation minimum in an oak cask. Calvados VO (Very Old) or reserve: 3 years ageing minimum in an oak cask. Calvados “vieille réserve” or VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale): 4 years conservation minimum in an oak cask. Calvados XO (Extra Old): 6 years ageing minimum in an oak cask. Calvados Napoléon, “très vielle réserve ou hors d’âge”: more than 6 years ageing in an oak cask. Nowadays there are several brands of Calvados, who are also producers of spirits. Calvados in starred gastronomic restaurants Calvados is a spirit which is mainly served as a liqueur. Sometimes, it might accompany a dessert. Occasionally, Calvados can be savoured as an aperitif. Calvados is the spirit which traditionally accompanies “le trou normand”, a Norman custom where a glass of Calvados is drunk between courses. According to the legend, this custom helps digestion. Calvados has a high alcohol content which varies between 40° and 50°. To obtain Calvados, apples are transformed into cider which is then fermented and doubly distilled to make the precious spirit. Calvados is available on a large number of starred gastronomic restaurants’ wine menus. In fact, it is an atypical alcohol. Thanks to its particular growing area, Calvados has an extremely good reputation in the greatest gastronomic restaurants in the world.

It is a fine alcohol whose subtle aroma should be savoured without supplements. Calvados is a perfect accompaniment for sweet dishes like chocolate or ice cream; calvados with a scoop of ice-cream is now extremely popular in Norman households. It is also goes well with cheese. In gastronomic restaurants, Calvados is also used to elaborate certain dishes, particularly in the restaurants which sublimate Normandy cooking. With Calvados, pancakes or tarts can be flamed. Of course, dishes created by chefs are not made with the best bottles of Calvados.

The denomination “marc” or “eau-de-vie made with marc” can only use the word “grappa” for spirits produced in Italy, Saint-Marin, and in Switzerland. In Switzerland the regulations allow producers to use the denominations “Grappa del Ticino”, “Grappa Ticinese”, “Grappa della Val Callanca”, “Grappa Bregaglia”, “Grappa Mesolcina”, “Grappa della Valle” and “Grappa di Poschiavo”. These are Eaux-de-Vie produced in Italian-speaking Swiss towns. The word “Grappa” means grape pomace in Italian. The first written trace of Grappa dates back to the 19th Century. However, this alcohol has been produced much longer, as it one of the oldest Eaux-de-vie made with grape pomace in the world. Grappa has a minimum alcohol content of 37.5°. Most Grappas have an alcohol content of around 45°. Grappa production Grappa like most Eaux-de-Vie is the result of the distillation of a liquid coming from agricultural raw materials. In the case of Grappa, it is the marc which is distilled. The marc used to make grappa is the result of pressing the whole of the grape (flesh, skin, and pips). Often grappa is made with raisins leftover from winemaking. This grape juice is then distilled to become concentrated and alcoholic. The distillation of grape juice allows part of the water to be evaporated to concentrate the aromatic essences to a maximum by heating then cooling the liquid. The majority of Grappas are elaborated with fermented grape pomace, namely aged and alcoholic which confers a greater aromatic strength after their distillation. Once distilled, the Grappa can be directly bottled or aged several months to develop a richer flavour.

Moreover, this sugar content is what legally designates a liqueur according to European legislation. A liqueur is basically made with alcohol to which fruit, grains, spices and plants or dairy products have been added. A liqueur may be obtained through two techniques: maceration and infusion. Most liqueurs are made with white Eau de Vie which is then macerated with agricultural products. This technique allows the alcohol, fruit, plants, grains, spices, and dairy products to mix in order to create a fluid and tasty alcoholic drink. In the Middle Ages, medicinal qualities were attributed to the first liqueurs. The first productions of liqueur were made with herb wine, borage, lemon balm, spices, quince, rosemary, red cabbage, nettles, horseradish, euphraisia, dill, coriander, camomile, spices, campanula, sage, fennel, aniseed, couch grass, thistle or even cloves. Some solutions of liqueur were then used to heal wounds or even eyes, thanks to the complementary action of the alcohol and the plants. It must be remembered that the first liqueurs that we know today were obtained through a still. This equipment was mainly used in French monasteries and by the Jesuits in Verona, Italy. Nowadays liqueurs are consumed all over the world. Through time, medicinal liqueurs became a remedy liqueur to help digestion. Liqueurs then became a drink supposed to help digestion. Liqueurs when they contain more than 250 grammes of sugar per litre are also called creams. Like crème de cassis for example, but this cream remains a liqueur and therefore a spirit. Liqueurs can be divided into 3 categories: Liqueurs made with coffee grains, cumin, aniseed, cloves, coriander or made with peel and roots like orange, lemon, mandarin, and gentian. Liqueurs made with plants like verbena, lime, mint, violet, jasmine, or rose. Liqueurs made with fruit: berries or stones like orange, cherry, banana, strawberry, apricot, redcurrant, blackcurrant, juniper berries, or cranberries. Liqueurs are not usually vintage, but it is possible to find liqueurs by their year of production. Liqueurs on the wine list of starred gastronomic restaurants Liqueurs are highly appreciated during a gastronomic meal, most of the time they are served as an after-dinner drink, but they can also be consumed as an aperitif. The alcohol in a liqueur has the advantage of capturing the flavours, taste, fragrance, and colours of agricultural products. There are obviously a lot of liqueurs, in fact, it might be possible to create brands and references of liqueurs ad infinitum as there are so many combinations of alcohol and agricultural products Liqueurs are valued in gastronomic restaurants for their rich flavours. They can be served chilled, at room temperature and even sometimes flamed. The alcohol content of liqueurs varies from 15 to 55°. A lot of barmen in starred gastronomic restaurants make cocktails with liqueurs. So, it is quite natural for starred gastronomic restaurants to advise liqueurs as an aperitif or an after-dinner drink. Liqueurs are often used to compose cocktails too. Therefore, liqueurs, which are sugary are particularly adapted to accompanying deserts. Bestwine • Online, enables you to discover new liqueurs or more traditional liqueurs.

Tequiliana Agave is also used to make Mezcal. To be precise, it is the blue agave that is used in the production of most Tequilas, as it is the variety of Agave which has the fastest growing cycle and produces more sugar than the others. Tequila is a spirit which is obtained through distillation. A process which was imported by the Spanish to Mexico in the 17th Century and allowed the Mexicans to produce a strong liquor based on agave. Tequila was therefore produced for the first time during the 17th Century, prior to this date, Mexicans consumed agave in its alcoholic form by producing pulque. Pulque was only composed of 7 percent of alcohol. Consequently, Tequila is an evolution of Pulque. The production of Tequila To produce Tequila the agave needs to be cooked to transform the starch into sugar. The liquid obtained after cooking is called aguamiel and is extracted from the heart of the plant which is called pinas. The aguamiel is fermented then distilled to be transformed into alcohol. This is the method called de Tahona which is the traditional way of making Tequila. Today, through its worldwide consumption, Tequila is no longer frequently consumed by Mexicans, as the worldwide demand in Tequila has increased its price, making it inaccessible for the more modest Mexicans. Nowadays Tequila is mainly drunk in the United States, a country with a large population of Mexicans or Americans of Mexican descent. The United States consumes 106 million litres of Tequila per year and there is even a Tequila Day which takes place every 24th July. In comparison, 16 million litres of Tequila are drunk in Europe and 1 million litres in the rest of the world. In China and Argentina, alcoholic drinks can be found which are called Tequila, but they do not respect the criteria of the original Mexican production. In South Africa there is a drink named Agava but it is not strictly speaking a Tequila because it does not come from Mexico. The word Tequila is a Spanish masculine word which comes from a town, a valley and a Mexican mountain called Tequila in the state of Jalisco. The root of the word Tequila can also be found in words which mean work and labour in the fields. Tequila, a spirit which dates back to the 17th Century, is a popular alcohol which refers to a drink of the Mexican people who work. To use the brand name of Tequila, the spirit must be made from Agave and produced in Mexico in the state of Jalisco and in some towns in the states of Nayarit, Michoacán, Guanajuato and Tamaulipas. Tequila can only come from Mexico and can only be made from Agave. To use the name Tequila there must be at least 60 percent of Blue Agave. Some Tequilas are made from 100 percent of Agave and are obviously the best Tequilas. The Tequilas which have less than 100 percent of Tequila are called “mixtos”. Tequila can be classified into 4 different categories: Tequila Blanco: A transparent Tequila which is obtained directly after the second distillation. This Tequila is not matured in a barrel. Tequila Blanco is a type 1 Tequila. Tequila Gold or Tequila Joven Abocado: A transparent Tequila which comes from the second distillation and is then matured in an oak cask. Tequila Gold can also have a colouring and aroma added to it. Tequila gold is the type of Tequila that is the most exported and is a type 2 Tequila. Tequila Reposado: Tequila Reposado is obtained from the second distillation then it is left to rest for at least two months in an oak barrel. Tequila Reposado has a smoother taste than Tequila Blanco and is the most consumed in Mexico. Tequila Reposado can be made with 100% or Mixtos and is a type 3 Tequila. Tequila Anejo (or Tequila extra Anejo): Tequila Anejo or extra Anejo must stay for one to three years in the same barrels of 600 litres sealed by a Mexican government official. The colour of the Tequila Anejo is much darker than the other categories of Tequila and it has a much more pronounced wood taste. Tequila Anejo is a type 4 Tequila. You may also find other non-official adjectives on the Tequila market like “oro”, “plata”, “artisanal”, “especial”, “Azteca”, “Antigua reserve”, “reserva”. These terms are only used for their commercial aspect. Tequila can be qualified as vintage by its age and the year of its production. Tequila has different tastes according to the producers and the specific features of the distilleries where it is produced. Tequila has mainly herbal and floral aromas which come from the agave. Woody and smoked aromas can also be found in Tequila due to its maturation. The percentage of alcohol contained in Tequila varies from 30 to 50% on average. The Top Brands of Tequila There are several brands of Tequila. In the reference list of the best Tequilas, you will find the most well-known and renown brands. Some of the most renown brands are, Casa San Matias, Fortaleza or Roca Patron. Before choosing your brand of Tequila, it would be better to choose a Tequila reference according to your tastes and preferences. Tequila in Gastronomic restaurants Although Tequila is exclusively Mexican, this spirit can be found in restaurants all over the world, not just in Mexican gastronomic restaurants. Tequila is on the wine menu of the most prestigious restaurants of haute cuisine. In starred restaurants, many chefs and sommeliers reference Mexican Tequilas on their wine list. Naturally, Tequila is not just honoured by Mexican gastronomic restaurants, whatever the style of cooking proposed by the chef, Tequila can be included on the wine list. Whether it is as an aperitif or a liqueur, the best Tequilas are likely to please the most demanding consumers. Tequila is included in the wine list, but it can also be used as an ingredient to compose a dish. Some gastronomic restaurants respect the traditional way of drinking Tequila, which is to serve it as a shot and drink the whole glass at once. For information, drinking Tequila with salt and biting into a lemon is not the tradition. This method of drinking Tequila became popular because of a 1940s film, where a Mexican pours salt between his thumb and his index, licks the salt and downs his Tequila in one go before biting into a lemon. Tequila is frequently drunk with an alcohol called Sangrita in Mexico. The top of the range Tequilas selection How are tequilas selected on Bestwine • Online?

In the company of a good amateur of Tequila, I became aware of the different varieties of Tequilas and the exhaustive number of brands and references on the Mexican market. I was lucky to taste a good selection of local tequilas. Each Tequila has its own origin which is also linked to the methods, recipes and people who make it. During my stay, I met several producers of Tequila, the people who cultivate the agave and even the people who bottle the Tequila. Each bottle of Tequila carries its own part of the history of Mexico and its people. Behind each bottle of Tequila there is also a part of the Mexican soil used to grow the Agave. On my return journey I therefore decided to share my discoveries on Tequila with everyone. I do not claim to be an expert on Tequila, or to advise you in your choice, made according to your tastes. My aim is simply to allow the greatest number of people to access a reference list of the best Tequilas, So, I created this reference list. No one can indicate one Tequila as being the best, even though there are numerous classifications and comparators which advise brands and Tequila references as being the most delectable. In my opinion, it is important to offer a selection of the best Tequilas, to be able to choose and taste several, before deciding on the one which is best for you. I think that Chefs and sommeliers of starred gastronomic restaurants are the most reliable professionals to advise an alcohol as a reference. Chefs and sommeliers of starred gastronomic restaurants are always searching for the ideal Tequila and so they constantly discover and taste new Tequilas to enrich their wine list and wine cellar. These professionals must be extremely rigorous to satisfy their demanding customers. Chefs and sommeliers need to propose on their wine menu the ultimate Tequila. For example, I tasted the best Tequila which corresponded perfectly to my preferences, in a starred gastronomic restaurant. After this experience I had the idea of creating the website Bestwine • Online. My mission is to list all the brands and references of Tequila which appear on the wine list of different starred gastronomic restaurants. Tequila is a spirit whose aromas vary according to its recipes and methods of production. Therefore, each Tequila has its own taste and flavour. Each person is likely to find one Tequila better than another. In fact, we are all different and our tastes vary, we are likely to have different opinions on the same Tequila. With this reference list of the best Tequilas, I hope to inspire you to find and buy your favourite Tequila. Gwendal, creator of Bestwine • Online… and amateur of good tequila.n

Mescal can also be spelt with an s. Larva in Mezcal Mezcal can be distinguished by the unusual content of its bottle. Most of the time, besides alcohol, Mezcal contains a larva, which is added to the alcohol. This larva is a specific caterpillar which comes from a parasite of the agave, a moth. The presence of this larva in the bottle is not to enhance the flavour of the alcohol and is not a custom or local tradition. It is purely commercial, a technique used from the 1940s to differentiate Mezcal from Tequila. The larva does not alter the quality of the beverage in any way. Larva in Mezcal bottles comes from moths that are uniquely reared to be added to bottles of Mezcal. However, Canada bans bottles of Mezcal containing larva, as it is a dead insect and does not respect local regulations. For information, it is possible to find bottles of Mezcal produced by some distilleries where the larva is exceptionally replaced by a scorpion. The greatest Mezcals proposed in this reference list are more likely to contain a larva, nonetheless, the alcohol is totally fit for consumption. The difference between Mezcal and Tequila Mezcal and Tequila are both alcohols made from agave. The difference between Tequila and Mezcal is that Tequila is made from the blue tequilana weber agave whereas Mezcal is produced from the Maguey agave. The designation of origin Mezcal has strict specifications which must be followed to be able to put the Mezcal label on the bottle. These specifications state that the Mezcal can be produced from Maguey agave but also other types of agaves. There is an “appellation d’origine” “Mezcal de Oaxaca” whose production only comes from the state of Oaxaca. Tequila can only be produced in the state of Jalisco, on the other hand, Mezcal can be made in Jalisco, but also in the states of Guerrero, Durango, San Luis Potosi, and Zacatecas. The region of origin of Mezcal is visible on the bottle’s label under the title of the region and the term “Official origins” The best Mezcals are the productions made 100% from agave, yet again, this is mentioned on the bottle’s label. Poor quality Mezcals are called “mixtos”, they are made of agave and sugar cane and are much cheaper than 100% agave. In this reference list of the greatest Mezcals, you will only find Mezcal “100% agave.” Two types of Mezcal can be distinguished: Mezcal type 1: 100% Maguey agave Mezcal type 2: 80% Maguey agave and the rest from other sorts of agave Mezcal (like Tequila) is divided into four official categories according to its age: White Mezcal: a transparent Mezcal which is obtained from the second distillation. This Mezcal is not aged in a barrel. White Mezcal is a type 1 Mezcal. Gold Mezcal or Joven Abocado Mezcal: transparent Mezcal which comes from the second distillation and is then aged in oak barrels. Gold Mezcal can also have food colouring and aromas like caramel added to it. Gold Mezcal is the most exported category of Mezcal and is a type 2 Mezcal. Reposado Mezcal: Reposado Mezcal is obtained after the second distillation, then it is left to rest for at least two months in oak barrels. Reposado Mezcal has a smoother flavour than White Mezcal and is the most popular Mezcal in Mexico. Reposado Mezcal can be produced with 100% agave or mixtos. Reposado Mexcal is a type 3 Mezcal Anejo Mezcal (or extra Anejo Mezcal): Anejo Mezcal or extra Anejo Mezcal must be contained for one to three years in the same 600 litre barrels, sealed by an officer of the Mexican government. The colour of the Anejo Mezcal is much darker than the other categories of Mezcal and it has a much stronger woody flavour. Anejo Mezcal is a type 4 Mezcal. Mezcal in starred gastronomic restaurants During the ageing process, Mezcal improves in flavour just like wine or other spirits. In starred gastronomic restaurants, the greatest bottles of Mezcal appear on the wine list, in the bar, and in the wine cellar so that sommeliers may offer the best Mezcals to their customers. Mezcal can be served as an aperitif and occasionally as a liqueur. The alcohol content of Mezcal is between 35 to 55°, so it is not adapted as an accompaniment to a main course. To appreciate its flavours, Mezcal is better served at room temperature. However, it is possible to drink it chilled when served as a liqueur. Mezcal has a large variety of more or less complex aromas. It has a large palate of floral and vegetal aromas. Aged Mezcal offers more unusual woody aromas, due to its conservation in oak barrels. In gastronomic restaurants Mezcal is sometimes suggested to customers who are looking for the authenticity of an exotic region. In Mexico, Mezcal is the reference in alcoholic drinks, so tasting Mezcal in a starred gastronomic restaurant is like an initiation to a journey through Mexico. Chefs who serve Mexican food are naturally inclined to advise Mezcal to accompany their dishes, but Mezcal is also an interesting alcoholic drink to savour as an aperitif to accompany appetisers. In some gastronomic restaurants, barmen propose cocktails made from Mezcal.

At this time, the culture of rice developed in Japan and China, as historically Sake has its origins as much in China as Japan. Sake has become more popular and more widely consumed in Japan through the years. The term Sake can also designate Japanese alcoholic drinks as a whole, to define one particular sake as being a traditional rice alcohol, the Japanese use the word Nibonshu. The word Nibonshu literally describes a rice beer even though Sake is not effervescent. Some Japanese popularize Sake as a Japanese wine. In China, Sake designates both rice wine and cereal wine. When studying the authentic small-scale production of Japanese Sake, it becomes evident that the term Sake is used abusively in a large number of Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese restaurants. Often, the alcohol described as Sake in these restaurants is only Sorghum alcohol flavoured with rose, Rice alcohol from Bajiu, or Lua moi, a Vietnamese alcohol. These three different alcohols have one thing in common, they are elaborated from Choum-choum a mushroom. The reference list of the best Sakes offered by Bestwine • Online references authentic upmarket Sakes. Top Sake in starred gastronomic restaurants Good quality Sake is highly appreciated in starred gastronomic restaurants. However, the interest in Sake has diminished amongst the younger generation, causing a drop in its consumption in the last few years. Nevertheless, upmarket Sake is still very popular in gastronomic restaurants. In 2021 more than 1 000 breweries were identified as exporting more and more Sake abroad. Starred gastronomic restaurants using Japanese cooking are obviously very fond of it. Many other gastronomic restaurants reference bottles of Sake on their wine list. It is valued for its authentic flavour due to its unusual elaboration. To produce a good Sake, two ingredients must be rigorously selected: the water and the rice, even if the recipe for Sake is quite simple compared to other liqueurs, wines, or spirits, it requires a specific expertise to brew it. The production of Sake starts with the treatment of the rice, which must be polished. The more the rice is polished, the finer the Sake. Washed, then plunged into water, the rice is a steamed afterwards. It is finally worked thanks to the yeast and fermented to obtain Sake, after pressing the rice. Sake can be traditionally served in a shuki in starred gastronomic restaurants. Cold, at room temperature or warmed, Sake can be drunk in several different ways. For purists Sake is drunk at room temperature or cold. It is possible to drink Sake at different temperatures, as this gives it different flavours according to the temperature to which the Sake is heated. Sake can accompany traditional dishes like sushis. Sake is an alcohol which does not have a vintage. In fact, Sake can only be kept for about a year after being bottled.

Pastis is often called “Ricard”; however, Ricard is a brand of Pastis whose name characterizes one type of Pastis, as this brand has become very popular through the years. Pastis means “boiled” in the Provencal dialect, which must be translated as “mixture”. This well-known mixture is made of neutral alcohol from agricultural origin to which plant extracts like green aniseed, star anise, fennel, or liquorice have been added. According to the brand of Pastis, other plants may be incorporated to the recipe. Pastis is an aniseed flavoured alcohol, to which it is possible to add different plants. Consequently, the recipes for Pastis vary in function with the producer and the methods used to flavour the alcohol. There are three stages in the production of Pastis: the maceration or distillation, the redistillation, or the addition of naturally distilled aniseed. There is a European regulation which legally defines Pastis. There is also a designation of origin for the Pastis from Marseille. To be able to use this designation, the Pastis must have an alcohol content of 45° and an anethanol concentration of 2 grammes per litre. Anethanol is an organic compound present in aniseed plants. An ordinary Pastis has an alcohol content of around 40°, so Pastis is a strong alcohol. Pastis in starred gastronomic restaurants Pastis is a French alcohol, but its notoriety is international. It is a traditional aperitif, used in Provencal and French cooking. Pastis is consumed and appreciated all over the world, this is also true for starred gastronomic restaurants, where it is on the wine menu of bars and restaurants not only in France, but all over the world. Pastis is a delicious served mixed with water and ice cubes, it ideally fills the role of an aperitif, which is to give you an appetite. As an aperitif it goes well with appetizers. Pastis is valued in starred gastronomic restaurants, where there is a large choice of brands and references of industrial and hand-crafted Pastis. Chefs and barmen in starred gastronomic restaurants always aim to offer their customers the best in Pastis. They are constantly in search of the best pastis capable of satisfying their customers, who expect the highest quality in food and drink when choosing a starred gastronomic restaurant. So, chefs and sommeliers are therefore continuously renewing their wine list with newly selected upmarket Pastis. Pastis has an attractive flavour. The mixture of aniseed and liquorice and the flavour of Provencal herbs from the South, make it a unique drink. A refreshing alcohol, Pastis is also attractive because of its unusual appearance. Its yellow or blurred white colour when it is diluted is rare. Pastis has a characteristic hazy and milky appearance with a yellow or amber tint. Pastis becomes yellow and blurred because of the Ouzo effect. This word comes from another aniseed flavoured alcohol, which becomes hazy when diluted, Ouzo. Also called spontaneous emulsification, the Ouzo effect is a micro emulsion of milky aspect which happens when water is added to anethanol, the organic compound present in aniseed. Pastis when it is mixed with water, can be nicknamed “flambi” or “yahourt” according to the quantity of water used to dilute it. Barmen usually propose 2cl of Pastis, which is diluted with 10cl of water, which equals 5 volumes. A double Pastis is called a “Gainsbourg” (as it was the French singer’s favourite drink) or a “102”. There is even a triple Pastis called a 153. The colour of Pastis varies according to its content. The yellow colour comes from food colouring, often caramel. Pastis which become white when water is added do not have any food colouring added to them. Surprisingly, there are even blue Pastis. The first blue Pastis was created by the brand Germain. Janot is another brand of blue Pastis. Barmen in starred gastronomic restaurants also create cocktails with Pastis, like the Mauresque, The Tomato, the Parrot, the Rourou, the Stoptou, the Sazerac, the Prince des villes, the Limonette, the Mazout and the Pelican. Apart from an aperitif, Pastis can also be used by chefs in gastronomic restaurants in the preparation of some dishes, for example starters; king prawns flamed in Pastis, melon with Pastis, or Soup with Pastis. Main courses; like chicken in Pastis, Mussels in Pastis, Niçoise salad with Pastis, Ratatouille with Pastis, Tuna kebabs with Pastis, Pastis omelette, Bouillabaisse with Pastis, sea bream, red mullet, and sea bass with Pastis, and deserts; strawberries in Pastis, Fruit salad in Pastis, pancakes flamed with Pastis, cakes made with Pastis and Ice cream and crème brûlée with Pastis. It is even possible to make mustard with Pastis! There are no vintage bottles of Pastis. Pastis is a popular drink accessible to everyone. Brands of Pastis There are a large number of brands and producers of Pastis. Industrial Pastis should be differentiated from hand-crafted Pastis which is produced in small quantities. The brand Pernod was the first to produce Pastis in 1918 after the interdiction of Absinthe in France. Jean-Felix Pernod, son of a former Absinthe producer, registered the trademark Anis Pernod. However, the first brand to use the word Pastis to describe its product was Ricard. With its slogan “Ricard the real Marseille Pastis” Ricard became the first brand of Pastis, beating Pernod. It was not until 1951 that Pernod changed the name of Anis Pernod to Pastis 51. Paul Ricard, managing director of Ricard also innovated his Pastis by adding star anise and liquorice to the green aniseed. The brands Ricard and Pernod were in fierce competition until 1975, when both brands merged, becoming Pernod-Ricard. The brand Pastis 51 was discontinued in 1999. Ricard is the most emblematic brand of Pastis all over the world, and the most commonly found in bars and brasseries, as well as gastronomic restaurants. Other brands of industrial Pastis include Duval, Casani or Berger, which can also be found on the wine list of starred gastronomic restaurants. As far as hand-crafted Pastis is concerned, Liminana produces Marseille Pastis, the brand Manguin produces Avignon Pastis, Janot Distillery, the Domaines de Provence distillery who make the Pastis Henri Bardouin, the brands Jean Boyer, and Pastis des Homs. Some hand-crafted Pastis have more than 70 ingredients! They are in the high-quality range of the market. Pastis is not only French, there is also a Swiss Pastis produced by the Larusée Distillery and an American Pastis produced in California, called Charbay. Pastis must not be confused with Pernod, Absinthe or Anisette (an Algerian alcoholic drink), Arak (a Lebanese, Syrian, Israelian, Jordanian, or Palestinian alcohol), Mastika (a Bulgarian drink), Pontarlier, Raki (Turkish or Armenian alcohol) or Ouzo (a Greek alcoholic drink) which are other varieties of aniseed flavoured drinks. For a good inexpensive Pastis What is more pleasant than a chilled glass of good Pastis sipped in the sun? When you drink a glass of Pastis, you are also drinking a part of Provence. You can almost hear the sound of cicadas when savouring a glass of Pastis, so close is the link with the South of France.

To be more precise, Vermouth is called an A.B.V., which means an aperitif made from wine, (aperitif à base de vin). The main ingredient can be either red wine or white wine. Bitter plants and tonics are added to the wine to flavour this precious drink. Vermouth can therefore be made with wine, other alcoholic drinks, and different plants. As for the main ingredient wine, white wine is more often used to make Vermouth, as it is more acidic and is better for macerating plants and therefore extracting their aromas to make White Vermouth. Obviously, Red Vermouth is produced with red wine or white wine which has had sugar or caramel added to it. Other alcohols added to the wine may include grape mistelle, Eau-de-Vie, Absinthe (small and big Absinthe) or liqueurs. The plants used in the production of Vermouth are absinthe, artemisia, cardamom, ginger, sloes, achillea, cascarilla, cloves, vanilla, quinine bark, sweet flag, blessed thistle, hyssop, savory, aloe, colombo, iris, sage, angelica, coriander, marjoram, elderberry, Peruvian Balsam, rose hip, cola nut, thyme, camomile, wormwood, bitter orange, cinnamon, gentian, and oregano. There are several types of Vermouths: Italian Vermouth from the Turin Region: these are wines with mistelles from the Southern Plains of Italy added to them. The Italian Vermouths from Turin are known for their sweetness. Italian Vermouths have brick red or golden tones. The majority of Italian Vermouths are red. French Vermouth: Amongst the French Vermouths, there are de Marseillan Vermouths (Noilly Prat), and Thuir (Byrrh). These French Vermouths are made from dry white wine (80%) from the bourret, clairette and picpoul grape varieties. The French de Marseillan Vermouths are dry and have a golden colour. Another French Vermouth, Lillet is a Vermouth from Bordeaux, the vin d’epines, the Savoyard Vermouth, which comes from Chambery, it is produced from wines from Savoie and more than 30 alpine plants and herbs. Finally, amongst the French Vermouths, the Mattei Cap Corse is a Vermouth which, as its name suggests, comes from Corsica. It is made with mistelle, quinine, and several exotic plants. Most of the French Vermouths are white. Canadian and Australian Vermouth: The Canadian and Australian Vermouths are used most of all in cocktails The History of Vermouth Historically, Vermouth is a fortified wine which was first produced in Italy in 1786 by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Turin. The inspiration for Vermouth came from a German aperitif made with wine and Absinthe, the German word for Absinthe translates as “wermut”. The Piedmont region of Italy is therefore the region where Vermouth was historically produced. France is also a big producer of Vermouth. The towns producing French Vermouth include Marseille, Beziers, and Chambery. There are a lot of French and Italian firms amongst the brands which produce Vermouth. Traditionally, the consumption of Vermouth was at its height in the 40s and 50s. Nowadays, Vermouth is making a comeback. It is one of those unusual alcohols whose particular flavour is popular. Moreover, the characteristically bitter taste of Vermouth pleases as much the clients as the chefs, sommeliers, and barmen of starred gastronomic restaurants. Vermouth is served mainly as an aperitif in starred gastronomic restaurants. Sipped chilled in a tumbler with a slice of orange or lemon sometimes added. You can also drink Vermouth with ice cubes or water to attenuate its sweet taste. This fortified wine has become notorious today because it is an ingredient in a number of popular cocktails like Americano, Manhattan, Royal Martini, the Bianco or even the Vodka Martini which is James Bond’s favourite cocktail. To compose cocktails, Vermouth often has spirits added to it, as it is a sugary aromatic drink, it helps sweeten cocktails made with strong alcohol. Brands of Vermouth There are a lot of brands which produce Vermouth. Amongst the most famous names: Martini, Cinzano, Noilly Prat, Lillet, Byrrh, Dolin, Mattei Cap Corse, Punt e Mes, Gancia, Distillerie Stock, Routin, L’Elixir de la Dame, Yzaguirre.

It is then flavoured with herbs and plants. It can be enhanced with different flavourings like aniseed, caraway seeds, cumin, bitter orange, coriander, dill, or fennel. Aquavit may also be enriched with spices like cinnamon, it has an alcohol content of around 40 to 50%. The production of Aquavit goes back several centuries. The first documents referring to its original production were dated 1531 and found in Norway. Aquavit is one of the oldest spirits in the world. The word “water of life” comes from the Latin “aqua vitae”. Aquavit has been derived from this Latin word and means “water which gives life”. The production of Aquavit requires several stages. First of all, the production of a neutral spirit made from cereals or potatoes. These ingredients are distilled in a still to obtain an alcoholic drink. Then it is distilled a second time, this time with plants and a distillate of herbs and spices. Finally, the Aquavit is aged for several weeks, months or even several years for some bottles. Aquavit is rarely vintage, although there are some aged bottles. The ageing of Aquavit in wooden casks gives it an oxidised colour and flavour. The consumption of Aquavit Aquavit has a specific visual aspect; it can be slightly yellow or brown in colour or it can be translucent. The colour of Aquavit depends on the amount of time it has been aged or the quantity of plants and herbs added to the spirit. Aquavit is similar to Gin, which is also made from alcohol and a plant, the juniper berry. Aquavit varies in taste according to the country in which it is made. Culturally, Denmark produces visually pale Aquavit with herby flavours. Danish Aquavit has mainly dill and cumin flavours, whereas Norwegian Aquavit is more complex, as it is generally aged longer than Danish or Swedish Aquavits. Swedish Aquavits possess more simple aromas like aniseed. Aquavit is one or the rare spirits to be consumed with a main course. It makes an ideal accompaniment to fish such as salmon, halibut, trout, and herring. Aquavit can also accompany sushi.

Sambuca is defined as an alcoholic drink, or more precisely a liqueur. Sambuca is a liqueur made from plants. It can also be described as “an Italian cream”. The main ingredient in Sambuca is star anise, therefore Sambuca is an aniseed flavoured liqueur. Other plants can be used in the composition of Sambuca depending on its producers. A creamy and unctuous liqueur, Sambuca has an alcohol content of between 25 and 40°. Sambuca comes from the town of Civitavecchia, near Rome. It was first made in 1851 by the Italian Luigi Manzi. The word “Sambuca” comes from the dialect of the island of Ischia, situated in the bay of Naples, “Sambuchelli and “Acquaioli” are translated by “star anise” and “water”. Other sources state that sambuca comes from the Latin “sambucas” meaning “Elderberry” as Elderberry is often used in the composition of Sambucas. The word Sambuca can also come from the Arab “zammut” which indicates an alcoholic drink. Varieties of Sambucas There are several references and brands of Sambuca, and each Sambuca producer has his own recipe. Apart from star anise, which can be found in the majority of Sambucas, other ingredients can be added to produce this liqueur. Elderberry, spices, liquorice, and herbs are just some of the plants which can be used to flavour Sambuca. Sambuca is made by mixing neutral alcohol of agricultural origin with extracts of plants. The plants are infused to extract all the essences and aromas. The mixture of alcohol and plants has sugar added to it (about 350g/l) The mixture of plants and alcohol then ages for several months in oak barrels to produce the famous Sambuca. The ageing in an oak barrel is variable according to the references of Sambuca. With some exceptions, there are no vintage Sambucas. It is important to note that, to be considered as a liqueur, an alcoholic drink must contain at least 100 grammes of sugar per litre. Sambuca can be related to Pastis, an aniseed liqueur of French origin. However, the two alcohols have a difference in texture. Sambuca is a syrupy alcoholic drink, whereas Pastis is very fluid. Sambuca and Pastis are also different in their consumption, as Pastis is always mixed with water before consumption, whereas Sambuca is drunk neat. Sambuca could therefore be a possible alternative to Pastis. Sambuca can be considered as an original alcoholic drink, as it comes from the Italian terroir. Brands of Sambuca A great majority of brands of Sambuca are Italian. These brands produce their alcohol in several regions of Italy like Lazio and Venice. The first brand to have officially produced Sambuca it the Manzi brand, which still produce Sambuca today. Manzi is one of the references in Sambuca. Brands of Sambuca: Amore, Antica, Averna, Borghetti, Borsci, Canciana, Franciacorta, Galliano, Isolbella, Lupini, Luxardo, Marcati, Massari, Molinari, Opal-nera, Pallini, Puccini, Ramazotti, Romana, Sarandrea, Simal, Toschi, Villa Colonna, Vinci. There are industrially made brands of Sambuca and hand-crafted brands. Hand-crafted Sambucas are rarer on the market and usually dedicated to Export. Sambuca in starred gastronomic restaurants Sambuca is appreciated by many Italian chefs and sommeliers who propose several different references of Sambuca on their wine list. Sambuca can also be found on the wine list of gastronomic restaurants who specialise in Italian or Mediterranean food. Sambuca has an attractive appearance, it is a crystal clear, brilliant alcoholic drink. There are also coloured Sambucas, as some are flavoured with fruit like cherries. There are also black Sambucas, whose colour is obtained through certain plants. Sambuca is, above all, a very aromatic liqueur. Depending on the Sambuca reference, the alcohol can have unusual and complex aromatic bouquets. Sambuca is a drink which is both sweet in its texture and strong in the richness of its flavours. Sambuca can be served as an aperitif or a liqueur. As an aperitif, Sambuca can be mixed with water, as a liqueur, Sambuca is usually served chilled with ice cubes. Logically, it can be served with coffee, mixed together or alone, after the desert. In Italy, Sambuca is traditionally mixed with coffee. Another Italian tradition is flamed Sambuca, which consists of mixing 3 coffee grains in Sambuca and then flaming the mixture. It is called “sambuca con la mosca” which can be translated as “Sambuca with the fly”. According to the tradition, the three grains of coffee mixed with the Sambuca represent health, prosperity, and fecundity. Some people even flame Sambuca directly in their mouth with the coffee grains. As a sugary liqueur, Sambuca is ideal as an accompaniment for a desert like Tiramisu, where the presence of coffee is a reference to the Italian coffee Sambuca tradition.

Amaretto BrandOriginAlcohol Degree Di SaronnoItalie - Lombardy - Saronno28° AdriaticoItalie - Apulia28° LuxardoItalie - Veneto28° The best amarettos on the wine list of gastronomic restaurants.nnnnAmaretto Amaretto has a characteristic bitter almond flavour. Furthermore, the word “amaretto” comes from “amaro” meaning “bitter” in Italian. The perception of bitterness is due to the unusual composition of this alcohol. Amaretto is created with almonds, almond seeds, apricot stones, and peach stones. These different agricultural products have the specificity of being composed of benzaldeheyde, which gives almonds their characteristic flavour. Almond trees grown essentially in the Pouilles (Southern Italy) supply a majority of Amaretto producers. To make Amaretto, alcohol and different ingredients are infused, so Amaretto is a liqueur obtained by infusion. The first productions of Amaretto came from the Italian town of Saronno, in the province of Varese in Lombardy. Its origins date back to the 16th Century. Historically, Amaretto is a typically Italian alcohol, however, Nowadays, it is produced not only in Italy but also in other countries in the world, and it is consumed worldwide. Amaretto has no official regulations concerning its origin or its composition. Most of the time, it is characterised by a liqueur whose main ingredient is almonds. Amaretto is classified as a liqueur because it is a spirit containing at least 100 grammes of sugar. Furthermore, this sugar content is what legally defines a liqueur according to European legislation. There is a legend in which Bernardo Luini, who was a one of Leonardo de Vinici’s students, chose a young woman as a model for the fresco of the Madonna in Saronno’s Church. To thank him, the young model offered him a jug filled with an amber coloured liquid, flavoured with almonds. The student painter, seduced by this delectable drink made it famous. Some brands of Amaretto continue to cultivate their mysterious and artistic side by keeping their recipe a secret or by producing bottles made by talented Venetian master glass makers. The Elaboration of Amaretto There are several Amaretto recipes and therefore each producer has his own methods of production. To make Amaretto, peeled and chopped almonds are infused with peach and apricot stones in 90% alcohol for several weeks. To amplify the flavour of the almonds, they can be roasted. The almonds can also be distilled. Sugar and water, which may be boiled with other ingredients like herbs and spices, are then added to this mixture. This substance which is added to the infusion gives Amaretto its typical amber appearance and has the taste and aspect of caramel. Amaretto production usually takes on average 4 months. There are no vintage Amarettos, although some older bottles of Amaretto are sold by their year of production. Recently, references of white Amaretto or “bianco” can be found. These are Amaretto made with white almonds. Amaretto is served as an aperitif or a liqueur. Its alcohol content is between 20 and 30°. The flavour of Amaretto is sweet, as the bitterness of the liqueur is attenuated by sweet almonds. In addition, the sugar content balances the flavours of the drink. Amaretto’s flavour can be compared to almond paste or marzipan. It has floral bouquets, and some Amarettos have notes of vanilla, chocolate, or coffee. This alcoholic drink can also accompany sugary desserts. Amaretto’s bitterness is interesting to balance out a sugary desert. Traditionally, Amaretto accompanies Amaretti. In Italy a drop of Amaretto can enhance the flavour of coffee. Amaretto is served chilled, often with ice cubes. Amaretto is generally consumed neat, but this Italian liqueur can also be used as an ingredient for cocktails. In starred gastronomic restaurants, Amaretto is used as an ingredient for deserts like the well-known Tiramisu. Deserts such as pancakes, ice-cream, whipped cream, and cakes can also be flavoured with Amaretto. It can even be used to season some main courses, notably white meat, and chicken or fish and vegetables. Amaretto pleases chefs, sommeliers, and barmen with its flavour, but also its copper colour.

Triple Sec To make Triple Sec, orange peel must be dried for several weeks to eliminate its water and only conserve the peel. The peel contains the aromatic essences of the orange, which give Triple Sec its unique flavour. Triple sec can be made with sweet or bitter oranges. When the orange peel is dry, it is macerated in Eau-de-Vie, which allows the natural extraction of the aroma of the fruit, giving the Eau-de-Vie an orange flavour. The mixture of orange peel and Eau-de-Vie is then distilled three times in a leather still. Triple Sec does not have any legal definition nor any controlled designation of origin However, in the United States Triple Sec is defined as a liqueur which must be produced with oranges. The alcohol content of Triple Sec is about 40°. Some brands of Triple sec have more or less alcohol, with degrees oscillating between 15° and 40°. This level of alcohol is obtained through 3 successive distillations: The first distillation gives the first degree of 20% of alcohol The second distillation gives a second degree of 30% alcohol Finally, the third degree gives the final stage of 40% alcohol. Where does Triple Sec get its name? The name Triple Sec comes from its method of production. It is the triple distillation of this beverage which gives it the name Triple Sec. According to Edouard Cointreau, the name Triple Sec comes from the fact that this liqueur contains three times more orange essence (triple) and less sugar (sec). Triple Sec in starred gastronomic restaurants Triple Sec is a liqueur that can be served as an aperitif or a digestif. It is also used as an ingredient in several different cocktails. Amongst well-known cocktails made with Triple Sec is Margarita which is composed of Tequila and Triple Sec. Amateurs of Triple Sec prefer to drink it neat. As an aperitif, Triple Sec is served at room temperature so that all the essences of the orange peel can develop, and their flavour be appreciated. As a liqueur Triple Sec can be consumed chilled. It is also possible to add ice cubes to make a refreshing liqueur. To amplify its characteristic bitterness, Triple Sec can be accompanied with a slice of lime, which also enhances its attractive crystal clear and brilliant appearance. Finally Triple Sec can be appreciated flamed and mixed with castor sugar. Triple Sec has floral notes and a bitterness which is softened by sugar. To be considered as a liqueur, Triple Sec must have at least 100 grammes of sugar per litre. This is true for all Triple Secs on the market. Occasionally, Triple Sec is also used to flavour some dishes concocted by chefs, notably recipes in which the liqueur gives a flavour of citrus fruits. Triple Sec can also be used to season fish dishes or desserts. However, Triple Sec as a liqueur is not a good accompaniment for desserts. In fact, it is a bitter alcohol and as desserts are sweet, they do not go well with a bitter alcoholic drink, except for desserts made with citrus fruits. Triple Sec is consumed all over the world, due to its presence in a variety of cocktails. So gastronomic restaurants worldwide offer Triple Sec to their customers. Brands of Triple Sec There are dozens of brands of alcohol on the market, producing Triple Sec. Amongst them several French names as Triple Sec comes from France. Two Brands of Triple Sec claim to be its original Producer: The brand Cointreau claims that it is Edouard Cointreau who created the first versions of Triple Sec in Angers in 1875. The brand Combier, claims on their side, that it was their liqueur maker Jean-Baptiste Combier who produced the first version of Cointreau in 1834 in Saumur.

When the maceration of the apples with the Eau de Vie is finished, sugar is added to the mixture which is then distilled once to obtain Manzana. Manzana is distilled in a copper still. This distillation increases the volume of alcohol in the drink. Manzana has an alcohol content of around 15°-20°. As it is a liqueur, it contains 100 grammes of sugar per litre. The word Manzana is used nowadays to designate liqueurs made with apples. A bottle of Manzana may not carry the name “Manzana” but if it is an apple liqueur it is a Manzana. Some brands only mention “apple liqueur” on the label of their bottles, so it is important to know that all apple liqueurs are Manzanas and all Manzana are apple liqueurs. As a liqueur there are no vintage bottles of Manzana, with some exceptions Manzana in starred gastronomic restaurants Manzana has existed for over a century. It is a liqueur which was originally made and consumed in the Basque Country. Manzana can therefore be considered as a Spanish liqueur even though its origins and identity are in the Basque region. As indicated by its name, Manzana is mainly produced and consumed in the Spanish Basque Country and exceptionally in the French Basque Country. Apples are a commonly grown fruit in the Basque Country. Furthermore, certain Manzanas are produced with Basque varieties of apples like Mamula, Ondomotxa, Gordin Xuria, Etzika, Anisa, Peatxa, or Eri Sagarra. Manzana has a crystal-clear appearance and possesses a syrupy aspect. On the palate, Manzana has a very fruity flowery bouquet. Manzana is a sweet slightly acidic alcohol with a hint of bitterness. The flavours produced by the apples can differ according to the brands and references of Manzana. As each Manzana producer has a different recipe and produces Manzana with different varieties of apples. Manzana can be served as an aperitif or a liqueur. As it is a liqueur, Manzana is better consumed at the end of a meal. Manzana is savoured neat and chilled, straight out of the fridge, or with ice cubes. Manzana is an ideal accompaniment for a desert, being a liqueur, it is sweet and therefore goes well with sugary deserts. Manzana is perfect with apple deserts like apple pie. Some barmen in starred gastronomic restaurants compose cocktails with Manzana. Amongst the most popular cocktails with Manzana is the Manzana tonic, which is, as its name suggests, a mixture of Manzana and tonic served chilled. As for Chefs in starred gastronomic restaurants, Manzana is sometimes used to flavour their deserts such as jam, cakes, fruit salads or chocolates filled with liqueur. Manzana can be found on the wine list of many gastronomic restaurants. Starred gastronomic restaurants which serve Basque or Spanish food often propose Manzana on their wine list. Manzana is not only on the wine list of Spanish and Basque starred gastronomic restaurants, as many other names in high quality gastronomy also offer this liqueur. Manzana, an emblem of the Basque Country, is one of the original and indispensable liqueurs of the “terroir”. Brands of Manzana There are several brands of Manzana. Originally, Manzana was a hand-crafted liqueur made in Spanish farms by the farmer who cultivated the apples. There are still a lot of brands which produce hand-crafted Manzana and bottle, cork and label this alcoholic drink. A large number of starred gastronomic restaurants reference hand-crafted Manzanas. Although Manzana is a Spanish liqueur, there are several brands from other countries. Manzana does not have a legal denomination nor a designation of origin. The word Manzana is a generic term which does not have a label. So, there are as many brands of Spanish Manzana as French, or other nationalities who produce and sell liqueurs under the name of Manzana. Manzana remains an alcohol which does not need a specific variety of apple nor a particular recipe. Furthermore, it is easy to produce. Brands of Manzana: Bardinet, Briottet, Cherry Rocher, Cristal Liminana, Ederki, Giffard, Jacquiot, Jean Gauthier, Luna Verde, Marie Brizard, Monin, Porthos, Scherer, Védrenne, Wolfberger, Zarracina.

As you can tell by its name, Chartreuse is only produced in the Chartreuse mountains in France. To be more precise, Chartreuse is made in the Aiguenoire Distillery in the county of Entre- deux -Guiers in the Isère region. So, Chartreuse is only produced in France in a unique Distillery. Chartreuse is a liqueur made by the monks in the Grande Chartreuse Monastery, called the Chartreux fathers. Furthermore, sales of Chartreuse are the only source of income for these monks. Brands of Chartreuse There are actually no brands of Chartreuse, as there is only one Distillery producing authentic Chartreuse Liqueurs. So Chartreuse is a brand which has become a household name. As Chartreuse is a unique product from a unique Distillery there is no controlled designation of origin (AOC) for Chartreuse. In addition, the recipe for Chartreuse does not have a patent which mentions the composition of the liqueur. This absence of patent allows the Cartusien Order to keep its monopoly on its product as nobody knows the recipe of Chartreuse. The brand “Chartreuse” is identified by a signature on the bottom right-hand corner of the label on the bottles. A firm called Chartreuse Diffusion is in charge of the conditioning, communication, and sales of Chartreuse since 1970. The history of Chartreuse dates back to 1605. In 1605 the Duc d’Estrées gave a manuscript containing an unknown formula of an “elixir” (including virtually the full total of medicinal plants at that time), to the monks of the Chartreuse de Vauvert in Paris. Too complicated, the recipe of this elixir nicknamed “long life Elixir” does not seem to have been used for several decades in Paris. In 1737 the Grande Chartreuse Monastery (near to the town of Grenoble) decided to make a close study of it. The Grande Chartreuse Apothecary, Father Jérôme Maubec was given the task. In 1764 he finally managed to definitively establish the formula which became the Vegetable Elixir of the Grande-Chartreuse. The Chartreuse as we know it today was born. Chartreuse Production The recipes of the different types of Chartreuse are confidential. No one actually knows the full recipe for Chartreuse. Only 3 monks each know a part of the recipe for the production of Chartreuse. The exact composition of Chartreuse is a secret which needs a minimum of two monk’s knowledge to be reconstituted. We only know that Chartreuse is a mixture of numerous plants, flowers, and herbs. Over 130 plants, flowers and herbs are incorporated in the recipe for Chartreuse. The distinguishing feature of Chartreuse is that it is uniquely made with natural products. The plants, flowers and herbs are directly picked in the wild or in cultivated fields near Grenoble. This region is particularly rich in flowers, plants and herbs with great forests and a mountainous environment with a unique flora. The monks dose each plant, flower, or herb according to the reference of Chartreuse to be made. All the ingredients are then added to grape alcohol to be macerated. Next, the liquid is distilled to increase the alcohol content and concentrate the aromas. A liqueur is a flavoured spirit which contains at least 100 grammes of sugar per litre. Moreover, this sugar content is what legally defines a liqueur according to European legislation. For Chartreuse, honey and sugar syrup are added to the liquid. Chartreuse is therefore, a liqueur which is macerated then distilled. Chartreuse is aged several months in Russian, Hungarian or French oak barrels then in bottles in the Chartreuse wine cellars situated In Voiron in the region of Isère. At the moment, several references of Chartreuse are produced: L’Elixir Vegetal: made by the Chartreux monks since 1764 according to the written instructions given by the Duc d’Estrées in 1605. L’Elixir Vegetal contains 130 medicinal and aromatic plants. It is made with alcohol, sugar and plants and has an alcohol content of 69° La Chartreuse Verte: Green Chartreuse is the only green liqueur created with natural ingredients to be aged in oak barrels or in bottles. Green Chartreuse is made of alcohol, sugar and 130 plants. It has an alcohol content of 55°. Green Chartreuse is considered as a classical and traditional Chartreuse. La Chartreuse Jaune: Yellow Chartreuse is produced with the same plants as the Green Chartreuse but in different proportions. Green Chartreuse V.E.P: Green Chartreuse V.E.P. is made with the same recipe as Green Chartreuse; it is the exceptionally long Ageing (Vieillissement Exceptionnellement Prolongé - V.E.P) which gives this Chartreuse a specific flavour. It has an alcohol content of 43°. La Chartreuse Jaune V.E.P: V.E.P. Yellow Chartreuse is made with the same recipe as Yellow Chartreuse but has been aged longer (Vieillissement Exceptionnellemnt Prolongée) which gives it a specific flavour. Yellow V.E.P Chartreuse has an alcohol content of 42°. La Liqueur du 9ème Centenaire: La Liqueur du 9ème Centenaire was created in 1984 to commerate the 9th centenary of the founding of the Grande Chartreuse in 1084. It is produced by assembling aged liqueurs. La Liqueur du 9ème Centenaire has an alcohol content of 47°. La Liqueur d ’Elixir: La Liqueur d’Elixir is a replica of the recipe for the first Chartreuse made during the 1600s. It has an alcohol content of 56°. Chartreuse Meilleurs Ouvriers de France: A Chartreuse produced since 2007 in collaboration with the Sommeliers who are the best in France (Meilleurs Ouvriers de France). La Chartreuse Meilleurs Ouvriers de France has an alcohol content of 45°. Apart from Chartreuse, the Chartreux Fathers also make Genepy liqueurs, Gentian, walnut liqueur and “Foudre liqueur” (the 147 Chartreuse only marketed in the Voiron Cellars.) It is possible to find vintage references of Chartreuse like Green Chartreuse or the Jaune de Tarragone produced between 1903 and 1989, the Eau-de-Vie made in 1941, the Chartreuses Episcopales, the Tarragone Jaune du siècle, the Chartreuse jaune ou verte de Santa Tecla, the Chartreuse 1605, or the Chartreuse Blanche. The alcohol content of Chartreuse is 55° for green Chartreuse, the most popular variety, which makes it a relatively strong liqueur. Chartreuse Consumption For people wishing to taste the original version of Chartreuse, it is still possible to find it under the name of Elixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse. As it is a liqueur, Chartreuse is most often served as an after-dinner drink. It is traditionally served chilled with ice cubes or very cold at 5°. In starred gastronomic restaurants, Chartreuse is mainly found on the wine list of French restaurants. However, it may also be found on the wine menu of a large number of gastronomic restaurants worldwide. Each year, there are one million five hundred thousand bottles of Chartreuse produced by the Chartreux brothers. Chartreuse is well-known and loved all over the world. It is a liqueur made with authentic plants whose flavour and history are unique. Yellow Chartreuse is sweet and mellow with flowery, honey and spicy flavours. Green Chartreuse, in contrast, is stronger and has an aroma of plants. The appearance of Chartreuse is also appreciated. The green or yellow colours of Chartreuse come from the chlorophyll present in the plants for Green Chartreuse and from the saffron for Yellow Chartreuse. Barmen in gastronomic restaurants use Chartreuse to create cocktails like the Green Chaud, the Chartreuse Mule, l’Episcopale, the Cocktail Cardinale, the Hypermetrope, the Shuttle, the Chartreuse Tonic, the Chartreuse Soleil, the Chartreuse Expérience, the Snake Bite, the Tip and Top, the Café Grenoblois, the Marseillais, the Ictère, the Chartreus’ito, the Vilaine or even the Bijou. Some chefs in starred gastronomic restaurants use Chartreuse in their cooking to flavour fish, poultry, chocolate, cakes, ice creams and sorbets.
