At Spirits13, we take pride in producing high-quality spirits that are enjoyed by people all over the world. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the production process for three of our top-selling spirits: mezcal, vodka, and infused whipped cream.
Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit that is made from the hearts of various species of agave plants. The production process for mezcal is incredibly labor-intensive and involves several steps. First, the agave plants are harvested by hand, and the hearts of the plants, known as piñas, are extracted and transported to the distillery. At the distillery, the piñas are roasted in underground pits, which gives mezcal its characteristic smoky flavor. After roasting, the piñas are crushed, and the juice is extracted and fermented. The fermented juice is then distilled and aged in barrels, which helps to develop the complex flavors of the mezcal.
Vodka, on the other hand, is a clear spirit that is made from a variety of grains, including wheat, rye, and corn. The production process for vodka is similar to that of mezcal, but it involves a few extra steps. First, the grains are ground into a fine flour and mixed with water to create a mash. The mash is then fermented and distilled, which removes impurities and results in a clear, colorless liquid. After distillation, the vodka is filtered and bottled. Some vodka is bottled as is, while others are flavored with a variety of ingredients, including fruits, spices, and herbs.
Infused whipped cream is a unique and indulgent spirit that is made by infusing whipped cream with alcohol. The production process for infused whipped cream is relatively simple and involves mixing whipped cream with a chosen spirit, such as vodka or rum. The mixture is then stirred until the alcohol is fully incorporated, and the infused whipped cream is then bottled and sold. The end result is a creamy, fluffy spirit that is perfect for adding a boozy twist to a variety of desserts.
