Drink Links

As Sam travelled around the world (Mexico, Jamaica, Barbados, USA, Scotland, London, Ireland, Madeira, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Australia and New Zealand) he discovered and learnt a great deal. We have tried to put as much of that information into the Modules as we can, but we still have some resources left over! These Drink Links are a series of links, resources and websites that we found while researching for the tour. If you have any resources to share, that we don't already have listed, let us know!

RUM

Watching the process (and looking at some of the distilleries) leads one to think that Rum is a fairly basic spirit. This is not the case however. Rum has over 500 different possible flavour components; that's several hundred more than most other spirits. Perhaps the fact that there is even a Ministry of Rum in the Caribbean gives some insight into the importance of Rum.

TEQUILA

Tequila is made from the large pineapple-like root or centre of the Agave plant (called the Pina) which is harvested after approximately 8-12 years. When harvested, the Pina can weigh up to 50-100 kilograms! It may look like a pineapple but the Agave Pina is a whole lot bigger!
